Gambia Government Cotton Production Cotton

to revive the cotton production of the country, the government of Gambia has allocated 2 million 600 thousand DAL to provide inputs for farmers in the coming cotton season, said Solomon Owens, the Minister of agriculture. 
 after the cotton farmers in the upper reaches of the river have allocated the necessary agricultural inputs for planting cotton, such as pesticides and fertilizers, Owens, Minister of agriculture, said that the government's action was part of the resumption of the national cotton production campaign, allowing farmers to make cotton production and raise their income. 
 this fund will be used to allocate 430 packets of nitrogen fertilizer, 1555 liters of three kinds of pesticides and fertilizers. 
 according to daily observations, the Ministry of Agriculture said that cotton was the second most important cash crop before peanut. During the 1974-1986 years, cotton production expanded from 300 hectares to 3000 hectares, so the government now expects to restore cotton production through various measures. 
When p emphasized the importance of early sowing, Owens appealed to farmers to sow seeds in time, pay attention to weeding control, and get good returns in terms of quantity and quality. 
 in 1974, Gambia began to grow cotton with an output of 272 kg / ha. At present, the output of cotton is at least 800 kg / ha.
