Senegal: Exporter Guide
From calendar year (CY) 2012 to 2016, U.S. agricultural export sales to Senegal averaged $16.1 million per year. Bulk and intermediate products continue to dominate U.S. agricultural exports to Senegal, accounting for 90 percent of total U.S. agricultural exports in CY 2016. According to the World Bank, Senegal is one of the strongest economies in West Africa, with an annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of over six percent over the last three years. Although representing a small segment of the total population, a growing middle- to upper-class consumer base is slowly changing its buying habits and food preferences, which is leading to increased demand for high-value imported foods.
