Campagne arachidière à Kaolack : L’ancien député Moustapha Ndiaye tire la sonnette d’alarme
Following the departments of Kaolack and Nioro, the rural communities of Guinguinéo have joined the chorus of protests denouncing the management of the peanut marketing campaign. This time, it is former Liberal MP Moustapha Ndiaye who is taking the lead in representing the producers of his constituency. During a press conference held yesterday, the former parliamentarian condemned what he called the "disastrous" way the campaign has unfolded.
According to Moustapha Ndiaye, the reality on the ground is the complete opposite of the official announcements. “The marketing campaign is practically nonexistent. At almost all the identified collection points, there’s no one to buy. It feels like the money isn’t circulating,” he lamented. While the price of 305 FCFA set by the government is considered acceptable on paper, the former member of parliament believes it’s simply a “political decision” with no real impact, due to a lack of solvent buyers through legal channels.
Moustapha Ndiaye, known for his long-standing commitment to rural communities—particularly through the law criminalizing cattle theft—makes no secret of his pessimism. He believes the 2025-2026 campaign is heading towards "total failure," a responsibility he attributes to the authorities, whom he accuses of blatant unpreparedness.
This deadlock is pushing farmers towards the informal sector to meet their urgent needs. Unable to find buyers at official collection centers, they are forced to sell their harvests at rock-bottom prices in weekly markets (loumas), rarely exceeding 200 FCFA per kilogram.
In addition to addressing the plight of producers, the former member of parliament also expressed his support for exporters. They are insistently demanding the removal of the 40 FCFA per kilogram tax, a measure they consider a major obstacle to the smooth flow of exports and the competitiveness of Senegalese products on the international market.
