Because there is no factory in Liberia, many daily necessities and raw materials need to be imported from abroad, which will inevitably increase the cost of many things, so the price in Liberia has always been high.

Liberia used to be called the small America in Africa, because Liberia's founding was all built on the support of the United States. At the beginning, Liberia was still rich for a while, because he had been studying the economic system, market mechanism and even policies of the United States, and because he had learned the advanced system of the United States, Liberia developed rapidly. Became the little America of Africa. However, the re-development of Liberia is only relative to those countries in Africa, where the general living standard can't be lower. The price in Liberia has always been high, everything is imported, and even raw materials have to be bought from abroad for processing, and there are only a few factories in China, so Liberia's industrial development is very backward.

You probably can't imagine how high the price in Liberia is, so I'll give you a brief introduction. In Liberia, a bottle of mineral water costs one dollar, which is equivalent to six dollars for a bottle of mineral water, one dollar for apples, one dollar for oranges and two and a half dollars for tomatoes. That four-jack patch panel costs $7. This is simply sky-high for the African people who are not rich. Secondly, 5 kg of rice needs 18 RMB, half of eggplant needs 4 yuan RMB, and one pound of pork needs 1 yuan RMB. This is equivalent to not being able to afford food in Liberia.

Some students who went to Liberia to volunteer complained bitterly when they came back. He said that he almost starved to death there at that time. He originally wanted to be a volunteer himself, but at least he was able to eat, drink, live and travel. But who knows how expensive it is to go to Liberia? Those young people who went to be volunteers can't even afford to make international long-distance calls after paying for meals. They think that since it is so expensive to buy prepared food, we will buy things ourselves to cook. But this decision is obviously even more wrong, because when you go to buy ingredients, you will find that the ingredients are even more terrible. In order to cook for yourself, you have to buy a pot and a kitchen knife. This is simply a road to darkness. After all, there is no turning back. It may cost hundreds of dollars to eat a meal. Most people in Liberia can only eat sweet potato leaves, and if they are a little better, they can eat potatoes. There are really few families who can eat meat as a vegetarian dish like onions.
