Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Board Director of Agriculture at the Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Sulayman Mboge has said thatagriculture is the most important sector of Gambian economy.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr. Mboge revealed this on Friday during a meeting at the GCCI office in Bijilo. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together key stakeholders from various facets of agricultural industry to discuss critical issues, share insights, and collaborate on strategies that can enhance the sector\u2019s growth and sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite agriculture being the most crucial sector still it is the most neglected sector\u201d he stressed<\/p>\n

Mboge said concerns would be recorded so that at the next meeting of the President at the national business council all the concerns couldbe addressed.<\/p>\n

According to him, agriculture plays a role in feeding the population. \u201cAs a country it is essential to come together to share knowledge and brainstorm solutions to address the challenges facing agriculture like climate change, government policies, cost of production and marketing,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to have a guaranteed fixed price in the market. If not, I fear that next year there will be scarcity of onions and the price will escalate\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Officer of Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Sarata Konatehsaid the forum was more for forging partnerships and exploring innovative solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to know the historical background of agriculture to know how far we have gone on agriculture. Once that is measured we know that innovation plays a huge part of going forward in agriculture. It won\u2019t just be innovation but technology\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

He thanked everyone who attended the meeting, especially the GCCI board director who has extensive knowledge in agriculture to share insight so that the advocacy can be amplified.<\/p>\n
