We commend the government's commitment to fostering a favorable business environment and promoting economic growth in The Gambia. The Bakers Union stands ready to collaborate with the government in further advancing the development of our industry and ensuring the availability of affordable, high-quality bakery products for the people of The Gambia. 

We take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to President Adama Barrow and the government for their support and intervention to reduce the cost of flour. We look forward to continued collaboration and a prosperous future for the baking industry in The Gambia.
