Senegal: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   SG2024-0004
Governments’ support for inputs and rice production have lifted area harvested and yields, boosting production across much of the region. Marketing year (MY) 2024/25 area harvested for rice in Senegal, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Mali is projected up 1.7 percent year-over-year. Regional MY 2024/25 milled production is forecast 3.2 percent higher. Despite greater production, regional imports are projected to increase 1.8 percent in MY 2024/25. Rice consumption is forecast 3 percent higher on greater supplies and relative affordability as price inflation continues to impact alternative cereals. The MY 2024/25 regional area harvested, production, trade, and consumption forecasts are on trend with estimates for MY 2023/24, continuing in the same trajectory year-on-year.
