Président Diomaye Faye : « J’ai la profonde conviction que nous pouvons atteindre la souveraineté alimentaire »
Walking through the aisles of the International Fair of Agriculture and Animal Resources (FIARA) this Saturday in Dakar, the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, declared: "I am deeply convinced that we can achieve food sovereignty in Senegal."
For him, agriculture should no longer be merely a matter of subsistence, but the driving force behind national independence. According to the Head of State, Senegal has the potential to be a breadbasket for other countries.
“We can transform our production and become a breadbasket for [other countries], those that do not have the same comparative advantages as us in terms of water resources, arable land […] and expertise,” said Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
The President of the Republic declares that he is "impressed" by the diversity and quality of the agri-food products exhibited during this 26th edition of FIARA, marked by the enthusiasm of young people and women.
"Young people are very committed to agriculture. We need to make them understand that education or training are levers from which we can build something else," he added.
"It is very reassuring to see that agriculture, once neglected by young people, and livestock farming, long reserved for certain people, are now arousing a real passion. The foundation of the country's economic development is being built in a very solid way," the President of the Republic rejoiced.
