Senegal: irrigation market brief
2016
Paglietti, L. | Machado Mendes, D.
Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. FAO’s mandate is to raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations and contribute to the growth of the world economy. Achieving Africa’s agricultural growth potential will require a significant increase in historically low levels of productivity. This is an area where irrigation can play a critical role. Modern, efficient irrigation systems can substantially increase crop yields, resulting in improved livelihoods, reduced risk associated with drought, efficient use of limited water resources, and greater food production. This report is the third in a series of market briefs produced jointly by the IFC and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It is targeted primarily at private sector investors and companies interested in expanding investment in irrigation in West and Sub-Saharan Africa, with particular focus on modern irrigation technologies, but may be of wider interest to all stakeholders engaged in irrigation development in the country. The report assesses the current state of the irrigation market in Senegal, recent performance, and opportunities for future growth.
