In Gambia, the agricultural sector faces unique challenges due to the high humidity and saline air from the Atlantic coast. Traditional wooden or low-grade metal fences often succumb to rapid corrosion, leading to frequent failures in cattle fence panels that are crucial for controlling herd movements in rural regions.
The current market relies heavily on imported materials, where there is a growing demand for welded wire garden fence systems to protect high-value vegetable crops from roaming livestock. However, the lack of localized technical specifications often leads to the installation of under-gauged wire that cannot withstand the pressure of larger animals.
Furthermore, urban expansion around Banjul and Serekunda has increased the need for security and aesthetics, driving the adoption of chain fence privacy screen installations. The industry is currently shifting from makeshift barriers to standardized, industrial-grade metal mesh solutions.
