Senegal is advancing efforts to reduce dependence on animal feed imports by strengthening local production capacity, with a focus on empowering smallholder producers and stimulating agribusiness development. The initiative is designed to improve access to quality feed, lower production costs for livestock farmers, and reinforce domestic value chains, particularly in underserved regions.
The project aligns with the government’s broader livestock development agenda under the National Economic and Social Development Plan, which emphasizes integrated, locally anchored solutions. By promoting local manufacturing and sourcing of raw materials, the initiative seeks to enhance productivity, build resilience within the livestock sector, and support sustainable rural livelihoods.
Through this approach, Senegal aims to create jobs, improve incomes, and foster long-term growth across the livestock value chain. The initiative reflects a wider policy shift toward self-sufficiency and private sector participation, positioning local agribusinesses as key drivers of economic development and food security.
