Boulangeries à l’arrêt : le secteur en crise face à la flambée des coûts
On October 6 and 7, 2025, bakers in Senegal, grouped within the Rnbs, observed a 48-hour strike, completely interrupting the production and sale of bread throughout the country.
This mobilization follows the dramatic rise in the price of flour, sugar, diesel, and electricity, which threatens the economic viability of bakeries. Professionals also denounce the government's failure to honor its commitments, including the promise of a 3,000 CFA franc reduction on the price of flour. Decree 2019 22 117, intended to regulate the sector, remains unenforced, allowing informal competition to proliferate, deemed unfair.
Faced with the failure of negotiations with the Ministry of Commerce, bakers attribute their actions to a sense of desperation, warning of mass closures and the imminent risk of shortages for households. The tensions underscore the sector's fragility and the urgent need for regulatory and economic reforms to protect both professionals and consumers.
Observers believe that this crisis could have repercussions on the food chain and social stability if no concrete measures are adopted quickly. It highlights the need for sustained dialogue between the state and economic actors to prevent bread, a staple food, from becoming inaccessible to a large part of the population.
