Sierra Leone INVESTMENT
One of the primary objectives for the Government of Sierra Leone is that of overseas investment in a country rich in resources with substantial agricultural, fishery, and mineral reserves offering significant potential for investment.
Presently, the agricultural sector employs a majority of the working population, with mainly subsistence farming. The mining of diamonds, bauxite, titanium ore and other minerals traditionally provide the major source of hard currency, whilst the small manufacturing sector consists mainly of the processing of raw materials and light industrial production for the domestic market.

Palm oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil are edible plant oils derived from the fruits of palm trees. Palm oil is extracted from the pulp of the fruit of the oil palm. palm kernel oil is derived from the kernel (seed) of the oil palm and coconut oil is derived from the kernel of the coconut. Palm oil is naturally reddish because it contains a high amount of beta-carotene.
