It is already accepted technology in Europe and U.S all the larger industry are using it and I don’t think it has ever produce in the Gambia yet, and if you buy it will cost you ten thousand dollars per one if people don’t have the money we can also talk about renting for one month but also depend on the amount you need, he said.
