2025Northbank Farmers Association new events

If customers can’t find it, it doesn’t exist.  

North Bank Farmers Association (NBFA) proudly introduces our new refrigerated truck, built to serve farmers, vendors, and businesses across The Gambia.

Whether you're moving fresh fruits, vegetables, bags, or boxed goods — we deliver with care, speed, and temperature control.

Having a big even. 

Today marks a proud milestone for the North Bank Farmers Association (NBFA) and the communities we serve. With deep gratitude, we officially receive and launch our new refrigerated truck, a gift made possible through the visionary support of the Roots Project.

This vehicle is more than transport — it is a symbol of progress, partnership, and purpose. It will help us deliver fresh fruits, vegetables, and essential goods across The Gambia, connecting farmers to markets and communities to opportunity.

On behalf of NBFA, I extend our sincere thanks to:

• The Roots Project team for their unwavering belief in our mission
• All community leaders, farmers, and stakeholders who joined us today
• Our dedicated NBFA officers and volunteers who make this work possible

Together, we are building systems that last — rooted in transparency, inclusion, and local pride.

“We move more than goods. We move lives forward.”

Thank you all for being part of this journey.

Abdoulie Kamara Coordinating Chairman, NBFA

We especially thank:

• Our NBFA officers and founding members for their dedication and leadership
• The Roots Project team for their generous support and partnership
• All invited guests, including government representatives, farmers, and stakeholders
• The local communities who continue to stand with NBFA in building a stronger future

“Together, we are driving progress — one harvest, one truck, one community at a time.”

Thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to many more milestones together.

— Abdoulie, Coordinating Chairman, NBFA

The arrival of NBFA’s refrigerated truck marks a turning point in rural development, agricultural empowerment, and national progress. This is more than transport — it’s infrastructure for dignity, growth, and opportunity.

• Food Security: By preserving freshness, we reduce waste and extend shelf life — ensuring more families access nutritious produce.
• Market Access: Farmers from remote villages can now reach urban markets with confidence, boosting income and reducing inequality.
• Economic Growth: Reliable logistics attract buyers, strengthen supply chains, and open doors for agribusiness partnerships.
• Youth Empowerment: New jobs in transport, logistics, and sales — inspiring young Gambians to see agriculture as a career, not a struggle.
• Community Pride: Every delivery is a statement: our farmers matter, our produce is valuable, and our systems are rising.

“This truck is not just ours — it belongs to every farmer, every village, and every dream of a better tomorrow. We thank the Roots Project and all partners who believe in our journey.”

Let the world know: NBFA is moving forward — and we’re taking The Gambia with us.
