Introduction:
The Gambias manufacturing sector continues to be under developed
with a limited manufacturing base focused mainly at the domestic
market, and utilizing a limited range of skills and technology.
The Government's strategy is to build on the small domestic base
to encourage companies to supply the Gambian and regional markets,
and subsequently develop products which can be exported to the
EU and the US.
Investment Opportunities:
Although the Gambian market is small, there are substantial imports
of manufactured goods and processed foods for the tourist and
national populations. There is also a substantial regional market
with established distribution channels developed through the existing
re-export business.
