The Food and Agriculture Sector Development Project in The Gambia
In collaboration with our colleagues at ActionAid International The Gambia (AAITG), we commissioned a study to showcase successes and lessons learned from the implementation
To unlock its full potential, the Gambia is transforming its agriculture sector which is currently dominated by subsistence-oriented rainfed crops and livestock. The GIRAV project support to small and medium agribusiness is a step in the right direction. The Gambia's agriculture sector is undergoing an ambitious modernization.
It is therefore highly recommended that the private sector be incentivized to invest in mechanization of agriculture in The Gambia through tax waivers and smart subsidies among others. Successful mechanization will be key to tackling significant challenges in rural communities, from food insecurity to rampant rural unemployment.
Platforms like roots.gm play a crucial role by showcasing these success stories and connecting cooperatives with potential partners. The future of sustainable agriculture in The Gambia is bright, fueled by innovative technologies, organic farming practices, and community-driven initiatives.
Modernization in the Gambia's agriculture sector is evident through the development of new infrastructure, for example, improved irrigation systems, agro-processing platforms, and agro-logistic centers to serve as marketing infrastructure. These progressions are used on farms across the country to enhance better irrigations systems and machinery.
