GOVERNMENT TO REJUVENATE GPMB
Yankuba Touray, the Secretary of State for Agriculture-cum-National Mobiliser of the APRC Party, has said that the government has laid down plans to rejuvenate the defunct Gambia Produce Marketing Board (GPMB).
SOS Touray made this disclosure on the day five of President Jammeh’s ‘Dialogue with the People Tour’ in Kuntaur on Tuesday. He said the rejuvenation of the GPMB is as a result of President Yahya Jammeh’s resolve to boost agriculture in the country. He assured farmers that those who are yet to receive payments for their groundnuts will be paid no matter what happens. He said the APRC government will move heaven and earth to make sure that the agricultural sector is developed.
“Government is committed to expedite the development of agriculture. That is why President Jammeh is bringing 500 tractors as well as introducing the Agriculture Development Fund. All these are for farmers,” he said. He urged farmers to vote for President Jammeh for their development and progress. He urged the youths to learn skills.
