Senegal: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Link to report:
This is a regional report on West Africa that primarily covers Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Mali, but also provides brief overviews in certain sections for Niger, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, and Mauritania. Legislative bodies in the FAS Dakar region, notably, at present, the government of Senegal, are taking steps to allow the entry and commercialization of GE products. However, public perception of agricultural biotechnology tends to be distorted due to disinformation. Future market acceptance will depend on efforts to inform and educate the public about the safety and benefits of agricultural biotechnology.
