Senegal: Grain and Feed Annual
Link to report:
Senegal rice MY2025/26 area and milled rice production are both forecast to increase about seven percent to 245,000 HA and 645,000 MT, respectively. In addition, the 23 percent farm gate price increase since 2022 will probably continue to motivate farmers to plant more. MY 2025/26 imports are forecast further up at 1.66 million tons to cover Senegal’s demand, with extended buying opportunities for broken rice from India. MY 2024/25 milled rice production is estimated to decrease about 42 percent. Senegal has revamped its official production data methodology with a new statistical reference base starting in MY 2024/25, resulting in a much lower production number. Senegal’s new government issued a food sovereignty strategy (2025-2034) which includes plans for the development of irrigation system, increased access to agricultural equipment, water supply, and inputs.
