Trade season will begin in The Gambia on 1 December 2025 and ends on 31 March 2026.
The National Food Security Processing and Marketing Corporation is the only authorised body to buy and export groundnuts during the first three months of the season.
Approved by Cabinet on November 27, the resolution prohibits private companies from purchasing or exporting the produce during that time unless the Agriculture Minister grants a specific license.
This restriction will be vigorously enforced by security forces.
