The rice farm is sixteen hectares situated at Barajally village in the Niani District. The people were led by the Governor of the Region, Ganjie Touray, District Chief, Pierre Bah, and Regional Agricultural Co-ordinator of CRR north. Governor Touray commended the community for responding positively to weed in President Jammeh’s farm. He further said “all this is due to love and loyalty they have for President Jammeh, particularly the women folk”. He hailed the efforts of rural women that are engaged in agricultural production, noting that as agriculturist, they produce the bulk of the food for consumption.
