Second-hand Market, Lumo
📖 Janjanbureh's market scene, particularly the main Janjanbureh Market, is a vibrant hub for resellers, though it's primarily a fresh food market. You'll find a colorful array of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, and local delicacies, reflecting the region's agricultural bounty and culinary traditions. Beyond fresh produce, the market also offers everyday items, and on Mondays, the 'lumo' (weekly provincial market) expands to include a wider variety, from agricultural products and livestock to flat-screen TVs and solar electric systems. Resellers can also find traditional Gambian crafts, tie-dye products, batik, and traditional soaps, with some craftspeople innovating with recycled materials. An insider tip: visit early in the morning for the freshest produce and to experience the market at
