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.

The Gambia continues to be a significant producer of oilseeds, with its historical production data indicating 96,152 tons of groundnuts produced in 1915. The country's oil mill, previously owned by GOMB/GPMB before bankruptcy and subsequent takeover in the second Republic, is currently under the Barrow administration. Despite the potential to produce various products including seed and oil, groundnut cake, briquettes, soap, and chicken feed, the innovative capacity is reportedly not being stimulated by government policies and practices.
