Records indicate that Gambians consume far more quantity of rice than what is produced at home. Of course this is not a new piece of information; but our ability to endure adverse situations make us a unique people in the world. This, apparently, has warranted the profit-minded business people to always take advantage. And over the years, we have become addicted to imported rice that we became ignorant of the implications of discounting home grown varieties.
