The 40 Acre Trust partners with The Gambia to build infrastructure, industry, and lasting jobs — owned and operated by Gambians, on Gambian terms.
Gambia Peanut Butter
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
Gambia has one of the oldest and richest peanut cultivation traditions in West Africa — nearly 200 years of continuous farming along the clean Gambia River basin. We are not exporting raw peanuts for foreign factories to process and mark up. We are keeping the entire value chain inside The Gambia.
We will build a dedicated industrial peanut butter manufacturing facility. The plant will take high-alkaline soil, rain-fed, non-GMO groundnuts grown by Gambian farmers, roast and grind them to exact specifications, and fill sealed jars under the GAMBIA Peanut Butter brand.
Employment: Hundreds of direct factory jobs plus thousands more for Gambian peanut farmers. Finished product ships worldwide through the Waalo logistics system. Every jar carries the mark: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
Gambia Roasted Groundnuts
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
West Africa’s peanut tradition runs more than 200 years deep, and The Gambia sits at the heart of the clean river-basin growing region. Instead of shipping raw groundnuts out for others to roast and package, we process them here.
We will establish a high-capacity roasting and packaging facility that takes Gambian groundnuts, dry-roasts them to premium standards, and fills clear jars under the GAMBIA Roasted Groundnuts label.
Employment: Direct jobs in roasting, packaging, quality control and logistics, while giving Gambian farmers a higher-value buyer. Finished jars ship worldwide through the Waalo system. Every jar carries: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
Gambia Peanut Oil
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
Cold-pressed peanut oil is one of the highest-value products that can be extracted from Gambian groundnuts. For over two centuries the crop has been grown along the clean Gambia River basin. We will capture that value on Gambian soil.
We will build a dedicated cold-press and refining facility that processes clean river-basin groundnuts into pure, high-quality peanut oil bottled under the GAMBIA Peanut Oil brand.
Employment: Jobs in extraction, refining, bottling and laboratory testing. Bottled oil ships worldwide through the Waalo Port and Jacksonville corridor. Every bottle carries: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
Gambia Mango Juice
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
Mangoes have been cultivated across West Africa for centuries. The Gambia produces clean, high-quality fruit that currently leaves the country mostly as raw produce. We will capture the value here.
We will build a modern juice extraction, pasteurization and bottling facility that takes Gambian mangoes and fills distinctive bottles under the GAMBIA Mango Juice brand.
Employment: Jobs in processing, bottling, quality control and logistics. Finished bottles ship through the Waalo system and Jacksonville pipeline. Every bottle states: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
Gambia Premium Rice
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
Rice has been cultivated along West Africa’s river basins for more than 3,000 years. The Gambia sits in one of the world’s lowest-pollution river systems. We will turn that heritage into a branded, export-ready staple.
We will construct a modern rice milling, polishing and packaging plant that takes Gambian paddy, processes it to premium standards, and bags it under the GAMBIA Premium Rice brand.
Employment: Hundreds of direct jobs in milling, packaging and logistics. Finished bags move through the Waalo system into global markets. Every bag declares: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
Gambia Rice Oil
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
Rice bran oil is a high-value by-product of the rice milling process. By integrating oil extraction into our Gambian rice operations, we keep another layer of value inside the country.
We will install industrial rice-bran oil extraction and refining capacity. Clean river-basin rice bran will be processed and bottled under the GAMBIA Rice Oil brand.
Employment: Skilled jobs in extraction, refining, bottling and laboratory testing. Bottled oil enters the same export channels through Waalo Port. Every bottle carries: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
Gambia Rice Wine
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
Naturally fermented rice wine is a traditional product that can be elevated to an export-quality beverage using clean Gambian river-basin rice.
We will establish a controlled fermentation and bottling facility that converts Gambian rice into a premium rice wine under the GAMBIA brand.
Employment: Jobs in fermentation, quality control, bottling and warehouse. Finished bottles move through the Waalo logistics network. Every bottle states: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
Gambia Rice Vinegar
Industrial Manufacturing • Gambia
Rice vinegar is a natural extension of the rice fermentation process. By producing it on industrial scale in The Gambia, we complete a full value-added rice product family.
We will install a dedicated fermentation and aging line that converts clean Gambian rice into high-quality rice vinegar, then bottles it under the GAMBIA Rice Vinegar brand.
Employment: Jobs in fermentation, quality laboratories, bottling and logistics. Finished product exports through the same sovereign logistics system. Every bottle carries: Made in The Gambia — By Gambians.
