The Agricultural Markets and Agribusiness Development Program for Senegal aims to increase non-traditional agricultural exports and farm revenues for project producers. The end-of-project outcome indicators will be an increase of non-traditional agricultural exports from the 2004 level of 13,000 tons to 30,000 tons by 2010; and a 60 percent increase in farm incomes of small family farms, the project's primary target group. There are four project components. Component A improves food safety and the performance of the domestic distribution channels for crop and livestock products. It consists of four subcomponents: domestic supply chains consolidation; rural market infrastructure; knowledge management; and development of animal products markets. Component B expands non-traditional agricultural exports (ie., horticultural products, confectionary nuts, essential oils and spices, and processed foodstuffs) by leveraging the results achieved under the pilot Agricultural Export Promotion Project. It consists of three subcomponents: innovation and quality management; agricultural export infrastructure; and building agricultural export institutions. Component C: promotes demand-driven, public-private partnerships for irrigation investments to expand agribusiness across Senegal. It consists of four subcomponents: constructing public irrigation infrastructures in the Senegal River delta; promoting irrigation for crop diversification in the Senegal River delta; promoting micro-irrigation for crop diversification in the Niayes zone, the Groundnut Basin and Tambacounda region; and knowledge management and strategic studies. Component D ensures project coordination and monitoring and evaluation.
