  • Why are peanuts so important in the Gambia?
  • Peanuts are an important part of the Gambia’s economy. But climate change and other factors have created challenges for growers and processors. In this lesson students identify problems and solutions and find ways to draw positive attention to some of the creative ways problems are being addressed.
  • How did peanuts spread from the Gambia to Africa?
  • From The Gambia, peanut export production spread rapidly to the coastal and riverine areas of Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Guinea and northern Sierra Leone. Most important for this rapid spread were the African and Eurafrican traders (especially those with French connections), introducing peanuts and promoting trade.
  • What is the role of groundnuts in the Gambia's economy?
  • In The Gambia, the groundnut continued to play a lead role in its economic history up till today. This not so much for its nutritional value, but for its export value. This also is the case in most Sahel countries, from Senegambia in the west to Chad in the east.
  • Where to buy groundnuts in Gambia?
  • Not far north of the market, adding value to groundnuts is the theme of agricultural stalls at the annual Trade Fair Gambia International. Some 500 exhibitors showcase goods from textiles to handicrafts at dusk, backed by a DJ and a dozen food kiosks. Among those set up to sell is Favourite Foods, founded by 19-year-old marketeer Kumba Jobe.
