Women gardeners across The Gambia have lamented the government's decision to lift the ban on the importation of onion. The women gardeners are at the trade fair exhibiting their products courtesy of the NEMA project. She said: "When people start to import onion here, our own onion will not be sold, our onion will be spoiled as there will be no market for it. Amie said the government should place an embargo on onion importation when locally-produced onions are in the market and remove the embargo when the onions are finished. They all appealed to the government to look into their concern vis-a-viz onion importation.
