ChinaDialogue published on 28 November 2019 an article titled "Fishmeal Factories Threaten Food Security in the Gambia" by Louise Hunt, a freelance journalist.
Gambia has three majority Chinese-owned fishmeal factories. Annual production from the largest factory accounts for 40 percent of Gambia's entire fish catch in a given year. There are growing calls by Gambians to shut down the fishmeal factories because they are depleating fish populations and threatening the food security of Gambians.
