Campagne arachidière 2025 : Une production record de 969 000 tonnes face aux défis de la collecte
Invited to the program Jury du Dimanche, the Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Livestock gave an interim report on the 2025 peanut campaign. With a total harvest of 969,000 tonnes, Senegal is recording one of its highest production levels since 2017.
This result demonstrates a coordinated effort between the State, producers and private actors.
This performance coincides with a major reform of input distribution (seeds and fertilizers) led at the national level. According to the minister, this reorganization has led to improved traceability and a significant reduction in opaque supply chains. He states that, now, more than 90% of inputs reach the actual producers directly.
Bottlenecks in commercial collection
However, despite this abundant production, the commercial collection process is encountering obstacles. After 45 days of the campaign, only 126,000 tons have been received, compared to an expected target of 450,000 tons. This shortfall highlights the need to strengthen local industrial capacity, particularly for peanut processing in Senegal.
The minister also raised the issue of repatriating foreign currency generated by exports, a financial flow that has not always been secure in the past. To correct these imbalances, he advocates for structured support for industrial operators. This would involve reducing export taxes for companies reaching significant production levels, provided that the domestic market is served first.
Finally, the authority reaffirmed the strategic importance of local peanut oil consumption. It sees it as a key driver of rural development and an essential support for the country's agricultural value chains.

Toujours là à se forger une performance inexistante
La réussite se mesure sur le terrain pas sur des déclarations d’autosatisfaction qui frisent le ridicule
