Value added processing of
agricultural produce is also on government's top development agenda
since 1994. In this regard, government repossessed the assets of
the Gambia Groundnut Corporation (GGC) from ALIMENTA to redirect
efforts to revitalize the groundnut sub-sector with much emphasis
placed on value added processing of groundnuts and other
crops.
Premier-Agro (a foreign company)
has established a groundnut processing plant at Denton Bridge,
which enabled the sector to resume domestic groundnut processing
into refined oil for exports after a long period of dormancy. This
will certainly improve the foreign exchange earning capacity of the
country. In addition, there are cottage-processing facilities
available in some parts of the country such as the small-scale
groundnut decorticating facility at Kanube in the Upper River
Division (URD) and a number of coos mills found in most parts of
the country.
The GGC groundnut mills at Denton
and Kaur have been out of operation for sometime and are at an
advanced stage of being privatized. Another critical area of
government concern has been paddy rice processing. In this
connection, government has accorded due recognition to the
resuscitation of the Kuntaur rice mill from complete
under-utilization. The completion of the proposed commercial rice
mill at Madina, Jahally in Central River Division (CRD) by the
Chinese mission will add value and provide a marketing outlet for
increased rice production.
