Farmers in the Upper River Region of the Gambia are facing challenges cashing out payments for their sold groundnuts due to a lack of Qmoney agents, resulting in disrupted trade and farmers unable to access their money. NFSPMC management has promised a resolution by tomorrow.

Muhammed Njie, MD of the NFSPM, discusses Gambia's groundnut sector project to boost oil production and aid farmers in poverty reduction. Under the government's initiative, progress has been made with Islamic Development Bank support, aiming to achieve local cooking oil self-sufficiency.

Relevant: In the Lower and Upper Niumi Districts in the North Bank Region of The Gambia, seccos (agricultural cooperatives) reportedly owe farmers over fourteen million Dalasi (D14,000,000). Despite having debts, these seccos continue to take farmers' groundnuts on credit, with the Gambia Groundnut Corporation (GGC) promising to supply funds as soon as final reconciliation is completed.
