User:Cv1620/Economy of the Gambia

Background
The Gambia’s healthy economic growth is largely driven by the agricultural sector. Initially, groundnut exports, a product that was brought to the country by the Portuguese during the 1700s, were the only agricultural assets to the country’s economy as of 1904 when it was still a British colony, the lack of diversity in the sector and the lack of balance of groundnut exports with the growth of such subsistence crops as rice concerning the government.
