A farmers' federation is putting serious money into a new cold storage project. The North Bank Regional Marketing Federation, known as SOLICITA, contributed one million dalasis for the facility's construction in Ndungu Kebbeh.

The group's president, Fatoumata Jagne, credited a separate agricultural initiative called the ROOTS Project for boosting their work. She said subsidies for vegetable seeds helped farmers plant on time and increase their harvests and income. The project also provided tricycles for better transport and training on governance.

The federation's secretary, Haddy Joof, stated that the cold storage will reduce food waste after harvest. She also highlighted a digital platform that connects growers with sellers and suppliers. A regional manager noted that the payment is part of their annual plan to finally start building. Since forming a few years ago, the federation has organized dozens of local groups and supplied them with better seeds.
