  • Why is Senegal selling peanuts so short this year?
  • SANGUIL, SÉNÉGAL (AFP) – Large peanut orders from Chinese traders have cut Senegal’s traditional selling season short this year, rewarding farmers with fat profits but leaving local buyers with slim pickings. Peanuts are an important export in the West African state of Senegal, with the area around the central city of Kaolack a hive of production.
  • Are Senegal’s peanut exports rising?
  • The trade is also rising. Senegal exported 100,000 tonnes of peanuts to China in 2015, according to China’s embassy in Dakar, rising to 200,000 tonnes last year. But the four Senegalese peanut-processing firms that rely on local production are suffering the fallout.
  • Who buys Senegalese peanuts?
  • Senegalese Agriculture Minister Moussa Balde said China has been the main buyer of Senegalese peanuts since 2014, when the two countries signed a deal. The trade is also rising. Senegal exported 100,000 tonnes of peanuts to China in 2015, according to China’s embassy in Dakar, rising to 200,000 tonnes last year.
  • Where do Senegal’s peanuts come from?
  • This year Senegal produced some 1.4 million tonnes of peanuts, according to the government, which are a West African staple used in "mafe" sauce. Some peanuts are consumed locally, sold on roadsides or by street hawkers. But vast amounts – 200,000 tonnes last year – go to China alone.
