| description |
The groundnut value chain is of major
economic, social and political importance in Senegal. Most
rural households grow the crop, and its transport, storage
or processing is a key source of nonfarm employment in both
formal and informal enterprises. Senegal’s groundnut sector
was originally developed by colonial authorities, using a
monopoly over exports to control the domestic market. For
groundnuts in Senegal, the French-owned oil processor was
nationalized to form SONACOS in 1975, which proved
increasingly costly to operate and was eventually privatized
in 2005 to form SUNEOR in 2007. That too has suffered
increasing losses and in January 2010 the government finally
ended the monopoly system, allowing farmers to sell to
competing firms for either direct export or processing.
Despite turmoil in the groundnut processing sector,
groundnut production itself remains a mainstay of the rural
economy. This report builds on a number of previous studies
to inform ongoing changes in the sector. Most notably, we
build on the diagnostic analysis of the groundnut value
chain that was conducted in 2014 (World Bank 2015) and
addressed a set of key reform proposals. The focus of this
report is detailed in its Terms of Reference (Annex 4). |
