Information:
GAMCO is a joint private-public company engaged in the purchase
of groundnuts from peanut farmers in The Gambia and to produce
crude groundnut oil for export and the production of vegetable
oil for the local market.
Before the start of the 2004/2005 groundnut marketing season,
the Gambia Government commissioned a study which recommended
the setting up of only one marketing company to buy, process
and sell via exports the nation's yearly crop. The result
was that GAMCO was established by local parastatals along
with a Nigerian partner responsible for providing a 150
metric tonne a day groundnut pressing plant at Sarro, near
Denton Bridge,
Banjul.
