The Gambia’s Groundnuts: Identifying Problems and Solutions
On the other side of the Gambia River, at the NFSPMC depot in Barra, groundnut shelling takes place at night, when the dust from the shells least disturbs surrounding communities. Workers cover themselves to protect against the dust as they bag and carry what may be destined for human consumption, animal feed, fertilizer or processing into oil.
Growing up on a farm with his father and grandfather informed Saho about groundnut cultivation, he says, and now he oversees three of the nine largest groundnut processing plants in Gambia. It is mainly to the north and east of Barra that the Atlantic monsoon has long poured some 800 millimeters of rain every summer—more than London sees in a

groundnuts are utilized mainly for the production of peanut butter. B.

Here, further, production of palm oil was of greater importance. Strange Farmers In The Gambia, the demand for peanut production soon produced a system of migrant workers ("strange farmers") form the interior. Strange farmers are documented to have come to The Gambia as soon as in 1848. These laborers stayed to-three years near The Gambia

Board’s core assets relating to groundnut processing and marketing were consolidated to form a limited liability Company called Gambia Oilseed Processing and Marketing Company (GOPMAC).

Factors Affecting Groundnut Exports in The Gambia ..., IISTE
Groundnut, a leguminous oil seed grown in the uplands serve as food and main export crop in The Gambia. Despite a long tradition of groundnut farming, practical knowledge, favorable climatic conditions, and suitable land, recent declines in production and exports have hampered groundnut farming's contribution to poverty reduction, food security, and income generation.
A 1% increase in groundnut production is expected to result in a 2.94% increase in the value of groundnut export in The Gambia. This finding confirms Ac hille et al. (2020) finding t hat, in long
