GamGo has plans in the pipeline to further diversify its investment portfolio by venturing into rice importation, revealed the company’s CEO.
Since its founding in 2018 by young entrepreneur Saibo Manneh, GamGo has been diversifying its business interests.
The company started as a sole proprietorship, dealing in tiles and construction materials, but it later spread its tentacles to the procurement domain 2024 following its registration as a company in 2021.
Recently, GamGo successfully executed two huge government vehicle supply contracts through pre-financing agreements. Not long ago, the company delivered 26 pickup vehicles to the national water and electricity company at a befitting ceremony.
Last week, it also delivered 10 vehicles to the national police, and GamGo founder and CEO promised that his company will not relent in its search for easier solutions to challenges such as procurement of vehicles for institutions.
Meanwhile, in an interview with JollofNews at the GamGo Head Office at Senegambia on Monday, CEO Manneh disclosed that his company has been preparing the ground to venture into rice importation to support the population.
“We are into many things now, and we will go into rice importation as well. We will see how we can make rice affordable and accessible to the Gambian population,” he disclosed to JollofNews.
The GamGo boss is optimistic that his outfit’s plan, if implemented, would help beat down the price of rice in the country.
“Our planned intervention would help reduce the price of rice. You don’t see how the prices of cars have reduced, those of us in the market know that. There was a time when people were selling vehicles to the government at any price they wanted and it can take up to six months before the vehicles were delivered because they were the only available option, no competition. But now, GamGo is here and that is becoming a thing of the past. We want to replicate the same thing in the rice business,” said CEO Manneh.
