2026–2027 Agricultural Campaign: FCFA 44 Billion in Arrears to Be Paid Before Collection

The Senegalese government plans to pay FCFA 44 billion in arrears owed to agricultural input suppliers before the 2026–2027 farming campaign begins. It also aims to finalize SONACOS’s financing plan and mobilize FCFA 105 billion to strengthen groundnut collection, scheduled to start in late November. Start-up cash flow of FCFA 1 billion per day is planned for the first 30 days while awaiting disbursements from lenders. Proposed measures to finance collection and secure seed payments include FONGIP partial guarantees and warehouse receipts.
