Earlier Report Observations
Cotton seeds production in Gambia rose from 240 t in 2018 to 290 t by 2020, an increase of over 20%. This growth coincided with international emphasis on the value of cottonseed by-products, particularly oil for edible use, which highlighted new income opportunities for farmers and likely encouraged greater planting and processing activity.
After reaching 290 t, output dipped to 274 t in 2022 before stabilizing at 275 t in 2023. The domestic market volume, however, dropped to 175 t in 2023 as the country exported 100 t of seeds. Looking ahead, the National Fertilizer Policy published in 2024 identifies high fertilizer costs as a key challenge for farmers, while broader economic shocks from the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war have also affected the agricultural sector.
