Connecter la Gambie au monde

Depuis 2010, MSC Gambie aide ses clients à expédier leurs marchandises dans le monde entier. Aujourd'hui, MSC Gambia est l'une des principales compagnies maritimes de Gambie et peut expédier plus de 4 000 TEUS par an vers des destinations du monde entier.

Les arachides, le sésame, les noix de cajou, la ferraille, le poisson et les produits de la mer sont les principaux produits d'exportation de la Gambie, la plupart étant destinés à l'Extrême-Orient, à l'Inde, à l'UE et aux États-Unis.

Les principales importations du pays sont essentiellement des produits finis et des denrées alimentaires en provenance d'Extrême-Orient, de l'UE, des États-Unis et d'autres régions du monde. Compte tenu de la taille du pays, la majeure partie de ces importations transite vers les pays voisins.
