The country sets up a national platform to address weak demand for local rice and rising imports.
The support accompanies a renewed push for self sufficiency anchored in the Senegal River Valley campaign and is intended to integrate domestic rice into commercial distribution channels.
The project was delivered in collaboration with Bühler Group and SCE Silo Construction & Engineering.
Senegal has launched a major US$110M vegetable oil refinery in Sendou, marking a significant step toward food self-sufficiency and reduced import dependence.
Senegal, which imports approximately 1.65 million mt of milled rice annually to cover about 70% of its domestic demand, paused imports to reduce local oversupply.
