Taiwan government made provision
for The Gambia the sum of $3 million; about N472 million to enable The Gambia
fight food shortage, Observer
reports.
The fund will be used to buy 2,300
metric tones of seeds and to also import 1, 360 metric tones of fertilizer in a
bid to assist the country out of food shortage.
NaijaAgroNet recalls that last
year's crop failure really affected food supply in The Gambia, hence the Taiwan
support is appropriate and at the right time.
Samuel Chen, Taiwanese ambassador
to The Gambia, announced the support at the opening of a 10-day seminar on crop
production with special focus on rice for the Africa region and Haiti held at
Bakau.
Ambassador Chen affirmed the need
to maintain food security as a crucial policy in The Gambia with rice as one of
the most important staple food of its people.
He added that Taiwan is glad to share her
knowledge to her friends and diplomatic allies. ReadMore
