ONION FARMING

for the future

Supporting Local Farmers

  • Senegal produces 400,000 tons of onions annually, yet imports still dominate the market.
  • Poor soil conditions, inefficient farming techniques, and lack of storage result in 30% post-harvest loss.
  • Farmers struggle to compete, and consumer preference leans toward imported onions.
