Buchanan is the capital of Liberia's Grand Bassa County and the country's second-largest port city, located on the southwestern coast near the Atlantic Ocean, about 130 kilometers from the capital city of Monrovia. As an important economic hub in Liberia, the port of Pulibo assumes a key role in the country's bulk commodity exports, mainly exporting resources such as rubber, iron ore, palm oil, etc., and is an important link between local industries and international trade. The city's neighborhood is dominated by agriculture and mining, with a certain processing industry base. Despite the effects of the civil war, Plibo has gradually recovered in recent years, relying on the advantages of the port to become an important engine of economic growth in the region, and is also a strategic trade node on the West African coastline.
