18,75 milliards FCFA pour un nouveau site agro-industriel de la SONACOS à Médina Yoro Foulah
The President of the Republic visited the new agro-industrial oilseed processing site in Médina Yoro Foulah, in the Kolda region. This major project, led by SONACOS SA, represents a total investment of 18.75 billion FCFA.
The financing covers the establishment of industrial units, infrastructure, storage equipment, as well as energy facilities and related services. A first phase, estimated at nearly 660 million FCFA, is already underway.
Located on a 15-hectare site in the Medina Yoro Foulah Investment Zone, this complex will be dedicated to the processing of oilseeds, particularly peanuts. The department, now identified as a peanut-growing region with strong potential, should thus benefit from increased value for its production.
This project also aims to bring SONACOS SA closer to production areas, including Medina Yoro Foulah, Vélingara and Medina Gounass, in order to improve logistics and facilitate the flow of producers' harvests.
On the social front, the expected impact is significant: 200 jobs are planned from the initial phase (25 permanent and 175 seasonal), with a gradual ramp-up that could reach approximately 1,500 jobs at full capacity.
Carried out in partnership with APIX-SA, this project illustrates SONACOS SA's ambition to play a key role in the structural transformation of the Senegalese agricultural economy.
