Dear Mr. Sidibeh,

Thanks for this request. I am preparing something which will be posted to 
both fora The Post and the L) as soon as I am done. I am having a somewhat 
hectic time  now and against the 10th November. I have two project meetings 
to attend in Nepal and Uganda.As soon as these are behind me, I'll complete 
my contribution to the discussions on the failures og Gambian agriculture. 
As you rightly pointed out, there isn't much The Gambia can show for all 
those investments in the agricultural sector and a discussion of the 
possible contributing factors is surely needed.

Best regards

Alhaji S. Jeng
