GabĂș Plain
Quick Summary
The GabĂș Plain is a region in northeastern Guinea-Bissau. It is characterized by low-lying land, with tidal waters reaching far inland. The plain is bordered by the GĂ«ba River to the northwest and extends north of the Corubal River to the border with Senegal. The GabĂș Plateau, with elevations between 300 and 500 feet, is found north of the Corubal River. South of the Corubal River are the BoĂ© Hills, which contain bauxite and iron ore deposits. The region's economy relies on agriculture, with peanuts being a significant crop in the northern areas. Other agricultural products include millet, corn, sorghum, and rice, with cotton and sugarcane also cultivated. The primary ethnic group in GabĂș is the Fulani, with the Malinke as a minority group.12
