Le Sénégal, un acteur clé de l'approvisionnement alimentaire du Royaume-Uni
Senegal is becoming an important player in the UK's food supply. Two British farms located in the Saint-Louis region of northern Senegal produce vegetables such as spring onions, green beans, chili peppers, and ears of corn, which are exported to the UK.
These farms, covering 2,000 hectares of land, employ approximately 9,000 people, primarily women, and produce high-quality vegetables using irrigation and modern agricultural techniques. The vegetables are transported to the port of Dakar and then loaded onto container ships bound for the United Kingdom.
However, according to some British experts, importing vegetables from Senegal is not good for the environment, as it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions.
