Sixty agricultural workers in The Gambia finished a training course on growing vegetables. The program took place at the Jambanjelly Mixed Farm under a China-Aid cooperation project. Chinese Ambassador Liu Jin spoke at the closing, noting China has trained thousands of professionals globally for decades. He said this agricultural project is entering its third phase, with Chinese experts providing on-ground guidance for crops like rice and maize.
A participant named Bintou Ann thanked the organizers, saying they learned new techniques for controlled environment farming. The Agriculture Ministry's Permanent Secretary, Alagie Nyangado, urged the trainees to share this knowledge with other farmers. He also praised the embassy for facilitating training opportunities in China.
A manager from the Chinese training center stated the course covered the entire vegetable value chain, from greenhouse building to water management. He promised continued cooperation to set up demonstration sites for more crops.
