High Priority- 2008: Agricultural Year
Irrigated Agriculture (Senegal River)
135.000 ha ready for Irrigated agriculture
on the Senegal River
Only 20.000 ha really cultivated
Favorable agro-climatic conditions
Strong potential for diversification
Great fodder production area
Livestock
Important and diverse livestock (Growth
Rate 3,5%/year)
Red meat production: 75.000T/year
of which 40% is exported on foot without
VA
Associated branches still not exploited
(red meat, leather and skins)
Assets
production areas accessible through paved roads
Proximity to regional and European markets
Favorable Trade Agreements with EU and neighboring countries
Country free of rinderpest
Priority given to sector development and food self-sufficiency
4
Diversified branches
Red meat
Leather and Skins
Milk and Diary
products
Exporting cattle on foot: Senegal-Mali-MoroccoAlgeria-Libya soon. Possibility of transformation
after fattening and then export to the Maghreb
and Golf countries
Primary production limited by the small
production of red meat;
Opportunity to develop the sub sector and export
to Europe, WA and Maghreb
Unsatisfied domestic demand
Imports 49,000 T per year
Small part of milk production traded (<10%),the
most important part is self-consumed.
Niche for export: camel’s milk and cheese (Arab
countries , USA, Europe)
5
Diversified production chains
Cereals/Rice
Favorable Climatic conditions
World Crisis and escalation of price
Coverage of national needs only 24%, remaining
imported
Vegetables & fruits
Import Substitution mainly from the sub region
Small national production
Exportation to EU
Cattle Food
Import Substitution
No national production, high demand from
farmers faced with the scarcity of pasture
Beginning of semi-intensive farming;
Ilivestock productivity increased and also for
associated chains (milk, meat)
6
Developing the sector through private investment
Despite the existing potentialities,
 The national cereal production covers only 25% of the country's needs;
 Some braches with considerable potential for valorization : red meat, leather, skins, diary
products
 The agricultural sector growth cannot be achieved without private sector Investments
bringing modern and innovative technologies
7
Fishing …strategic sector, 2nd pillar of the country exports
Sector place in the economy
Potential Fisheries
720 km coastal facade
1.5 million t/yr which 100,000 t/yr of demersal
resources(Cephalopods, demersal fish,
crustaceans)
1,1 m t/yr of pelagic resources
0,3 m t/yr of bivalve mollusks not exploited
Fisheries Agreements
Opening of Mauritanian waters to
European boats
Actual captures (~700.000 t/yr)
Industrial Fisheries: 90%
Artisanal and inshore fisheries : 10%
4-6% of national GDP / 95% of captures are
exported / 40% of export revenue
25% of the fiscal revenues
36 000 jobs in the modern sector
60 plants for treatment and storage approved
for EU exports
Domestic production
Domestic production mostly exported without
Added value to EU, Asia, sub region
Only 10% processed
High diversity of fishes 700 of which are of high
value
8
High potential for extensive growth, in a context of
worldwide resources shortage





Strong demand for seafood from European and Asian markets
Opportunities to invest in the processing and conservation industry
Emerging Fisheries Development (anchovies, mollusks…);
Opportunities to develop aquaculture and breeding
Development of Infrastructure : extension of fishing port, new mining port,
airports, basic services
A strategy (2008-2012) towards a streamlined and sustainable management of
resources and land valorization of fishery products for the sector’s better
integration of the sector to the national economy

13% of national GDP
11% budget revenues
12 million iron ore / year (SNIM)
1.5% of world production of Iron
8% of EU iron imports
6000 jobs
Very favorable geological context
importance and diversity of mining indices
( 700 indices : iron, gold, copper, diamond…)
Efficient information system : data room, mining
cadastre
Growing sector : 30 companies / 145 mining titles
Including 6 for the exploitation


sector policy aiming at developing mining research and exploitation of
resources (eg copper plant in Akjoujt –a gold factory recovery in TAZIAST)
Institutional Strengthening of the Sector Project,(PRISM-WB, IDB)
An improved legal framework: mining code + mining convention compliant to
the standards
Establishment of a mining cadastre
Study of an iron ore pelletizing project (El Aouj project, SNIM)
Construction of the railways Nouakchott-Kaedi for phosphate (PPP)
New mining port in Nouadhibou
