Earlier Report Observations

Yam production in Senegal began a sustained upward trajectory after the government established a Horticulture Directorate in 2018 as part of a policy to develop and support the horticultural sector, including fresh and processed yams. This institutional support contributed to initial growth, with output rising from 70 thousand tons in 2018 to 101.7 thousand tons by 2020.

Following the 2020 peak, production moderated slightly in 2021 before resuming its expansion, reaching 120.5 thousand tons in 2023. The overall period from 2018 to 2023 was characterized by a strong net increase in domestic yam output.
