Hon. Demba Sabally, Minister of Agriculture
Press Release Dated: 17th July, 2024
Banjul, The Gambia – Contrary to instructions governing the usage of Government’s heavily-subsidized fertilizer for the exclusive benefit of Gambian farmers, it has come to Government’s attention that the fertilizer is being sold across the border.
To curb this malpractice, The Gambia Government immediately instructs all Local Government Authorities, The Gambia Police Force and sister security agencies to arrest culprits and confiscate fertilizer en route to destinations beyond our borders.
The public is equally urged to fully cooperate and report all fertilizer smuggling attempts nationwide.
