>> Inquiring minds want to know, who owns the new sugar bagging plant,

>>PRESIDENT Yahya Jammeh has asked members of the business community
>> engaged in profiteering to put an end to the prevailing high prices for
>> essential commodities such as rice, flour, meat and bread. He warned
>> that if prices for basic commodities remain high he would flood the
>> market with goods to teach unscrupulous businesspeople in the country a
>> lesson.
>>
>>The President was speaking on Wednesday at the Gambia Ports Authority
>> where he received a consignment of 300,000 bags of rice imported from
>> Burma. The rice bags were marked 'APRC Operation No Compromise'. The
>> Head of State also
>>commissioned a sugar bagging plant located at the GPA bonded warehouse
>> complex at Half-Die in Banjul. The plant has a capacity to produce
>> 1,200 bags of sugar per hour.
>>
>>According to the new plant's proprietor Lamin Gaye of L.B Gaye and
>> Sons, the
>>new facility would ensure a steady supply of sugar in the local market,
>> reduce foreign exchange out-flows and create employment opportunities
>> for Gambians.
>>
>>Concerning the sugar bagging plant, the President assured the
>> proprietor, Lamin Gaye, of the government's support, and expressed
>> optimism that the project would contribute a great deal toward reducing
>> the cost of sugar in the local market.
>>
>>President Jammeh thanked Gaye for being the first Gambian to respond to
>> his call for the business community in The Gambia to move from
>> warehouse business to value added operations.
>>
>>Speaking earlier, the managing director of the Gambia Ports Authority,
>> Adama
>>Deen, said the sugar re-bagging plant in GPA's bonded warehouses
>> complex is the first of its kind in The Gambia, and is intended to
>> reduce the cost of sugar, making the product available and affordable
>> to the Gambian people.

>> warehouses have
>>a total area of 8550m2 and have a capacity to handle more than 2000
