About Gambia

The Gambia is located in West Africa, forming a narrow strip along the Gambia River surrounded by Senegal. English is the official language, spoken alongside major indigenous languages such as Mandinka and Wolof. The economy is primarily known for agriculture, especially groundnut farming, as well as coastal tourism.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal in The Gambia for adults aged 18 and older, with retail sales restricted to licensed premises concentrated in coastal tourist districts. Commercial imports require Food Business Operator registration and face a 20% import duty, 15% VAT, and a specific excise duty of D275 per litre. Local manufacturing is small, with listings showing one producer making liqueurs. Exporter opportunities focus on supplying premium whisky, gin, and brandy to coastal resorts and expatriate supermarkets, though overall commercial market size remains limited.
