Today, according to contacts, the growing Senegalese middle and upper class constitute the bulk of patrons at these establishments, representing 50 to 70 percent of regular clientele. These consumers are willing to pay a premium for higher quality, more expensive foods. Although the United States has approximately one percent of total global agricultural export market share in Senegal, market opportunities may exist for U.S. exporters and agribusinesses interested in supplying foods and ingredients not currently available in the market to mid-scale or upscale establishments in the Hotel, Restaurant, and Institution (HRI) sector in Dakar. Page 2 of 10 General Information: Market Overview Approximately five to 10 years ago, mid- and upscale restaurants in Dakar primarily catered to expatriates and tourists. Today, according to contacts, the growing Senegalese middle and upper class constitute the bulk of patrons at these establishments, representing 50 to 70 percent of regular clientele. These consumers are willing to pay a premium for higher quality, more expensive foods. Senegalese middle and upper class consumers are travelling more frequently for business, study, and leisure; when these consumers return to Senegal they want to have the same international dishes that they experienced abroad.

  • Barriers to Sustainable Tourism in Senegal MAHAWA NDIAYE
    Barriers to Sustainable Tourism in Senegal MAHAWA NDIAYE Abstract This work is in line with the promotion of sustainable development initiated by the UNWTO in countries where tourism can be an essential vector of development and at the same time, in the development policy of the tourism sector in Senegal through the Emerging Senegal Plan (ESP). The tourism sub-sector generates nearly 75,000 jobs and is one of the largest providers of foreign exchange but its contribution to GDP remains modest. Tourism suffers from lack of connectivity to target markets, poorly diversified and insufficiently competitive supply, poor quality services, lack of trained and skilled manpower, and deficit of promotion of Senegal as a destination. It therefore includes, firstly, a survey of current barriers to sustainable development and, secondly, an analysis of hypotheses focusing on ways and means of financing sustainable development, access to greater social well-being and opportunities for sustainable economic growth, cultural heritage and biodiversity preservation, etc. Qualitative and quantitative surveys have made it possible, through their exploitation, to better identify practices that are conducive to a more productive and sustainable tourism implementation approach.

Trends in Agriculture in Africa Africa’s agriculture sector remains an important driver of job creation and economic development. This report addresses two growing sub-sectors, i.e. aquaculture and poultry. Both subsectors are currently underdeveloped and both present opportunities to entrepreneurs. Each can also play a meaningful role to address the challenge of food security in a continent that currently imports between US$35 and US$41 billion of food annually. AQUACULTURE IN AFRICA Global consumption of fish has grown twice as fast as the population since 1961. One of the most important sources of protein, fish, accounts for about 17 % of animal protein consumed globally. One third of the supply of fish for consumption is derived from aquaculture. However, aquaculture production faces various challenges, including overexploitation, pollution and habitat change. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) seeks to
