THE GAMBIA

THE GAMBIA:

The rainy season is now well established. The first rains were registered during the first dekad of June and permitted land preparation and first early plantings. The weather remained mostly dry during the second dekad but rains covered the entire country during the third dekad and became abundant in early July. Plantings are well underway.

Following a record harvest in 2000, cereals seed availability is adequate.
