  • What is the agriculture sector in the Gambia?
  • The agriculture sector in The Gambia is mainly driven by the crop production subsector. The major crops are mainly cereals (rice, millet, sorghum) and groundnuts. Although the production of sorghum appears relatively stable between 2000 and 2014, the other crops show great variations (Figure 21).
  • What crops are used in Gambian agriculture?
  • Gambian agriculture is mainly a subsistence production of food crops consisting of cereals: millet, maize, sorghum, and rice (Figure 17, panel A). Of these, rice, sorghum, and millet are the most important crops (Figure 17, panel B), and rice is the staple that is consumed at an average of 117 kg per person.
  • Is cultivated land underutilized in the Gambia?
  • Cultivable land remains underutilized in The Gambia. The area of arable, cultivable land has expanded from 280,000 hectares (ha) in 2000 to 440,000 ha in 2016, representing a growth rate of approximately 8 percent. But only 57.3 percent of the land is cultivated. The percentage of land used for permanent crops has remained flat.
  • What policies drive agricultural productivity growth in the Gambia?
  • In the current context, efficient policies driving agricultural productivity growth in The Gambia should include investments in research and development, economic reforms that strengthen incentives for farmers, rural education and extension, and improved infrastructure (Figure 27).
