Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>His Excellency F Tu\u0308rker Oba, the Turkish ambassador to The Gambia, yesterday visited the Pirang community\u2019s new cold storage facility, a project designed to strengthen farmers\u2019 capacity during the harvest season. The facility is expected to reduce post-harvest losses and improve food security not only in Pirang but also in neighbouring communities.<\/b>
\nA step towards sustainability<\/b><\/p>\n

Dennis Elverir, CEO of AIC Green Energy which is implementing the project, confirmed that his company is preparing to integrate solar solutions into the facility. This green energy investment will cut operating costs, ensure sustainability, and create a model that can be replicated nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is to deliver practical solutions that bring lasting value to Gambian agriculture and empower communities,\u201d Elverir said. He concluded: \u201cWe stand with Gambian farmers and communities\u2014day and night\u2014because our vision is to see Gambia shine with green energy and opportunity<\/p>\n

Community appreciation<\/b><\/p>\n

On behalf of the Alkalo, a villager, Muhammed Cessay expressed gratitude to the Turkish Embassy for its support and commended AIC Green Energy for its leadership in combining agriculture with clean and sustainable power.<\/p>\n

Promising partnership<\/b><\/p>\n

His Excellency Ambassador F Tu\u0308rker Oba praised the Gambia Government and people for their collaboration and reaffirmed Turkey\u2019s commitment to supporting impactful projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pleased to see the progress in Pirang on this important cold storage facility, which will strengthen farmers and the vegetable value chain,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

The initiative reflects the power of international cooperation and private investment to drive sustainable development in The Gambia.<\/p>\n
