Filière sucre : Le gouvernement gèle à nouveau les importations pour 8 à 9 mois
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has announced a further suspension of sugar imports, effective November 2026, for a projected period of eight to nine months. This decision aims to support domestic production, particularly that of the Senegalese Sugar Company (CSS), while ensuring market supply and price stability.
The ministry clarifies that imports, previously suspended from November 2025 to August 2026, will be halted again as soon as CSS's industrial activities effectively resume. This measure will result in the suspension of Food Import Declarations (DIPA). Its exact duration will be adjusted according to local production and market needs.
Build up a safety stock and balance prices
The government also emphasizes the need to establish a strategic reserve equivalent to one month of national consumption. Currently, CSS's reserves are estimated at approximately 30,000 tonnes. The ministry also notes that the company has already received DIPA funding to supplement its supply.
Another major concern is the price gap between local sugar and imported sugar, which is relatively cheaper. This situation complicates the transition and, according to the supervisory authority, necessitates finding a balance between protecting household purchasing power and safeguarding the national industry.
Welcoming the constructive exchanges with the management of CSS and the social partners, the ministry finally calls on the various actors to act responsibly in order to preserve the continuity of supply and the serenity of the social climate.
