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 9 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 10 SNIM Red Back (Lunin Group): Mhaoudat/Guelb/Kédia 180 Mt of Hematite (65% iron) 600 Mt of Magnetite (35% iron) Tasiast / Gold Réserves : 40 tons d’Au Production : 120.000 oz/yr Bassin deTindouf # ss des ur Ma ier cot in e aî n Ch Ba itan s ide • Agrineq S.A • BSA • Mauritanian Cooper Mine Dorsale Réguibat (MCM) / First Quantum Minerals First Quantum Minerals : • Mauritanian Holdings Pty Ltd • PT Bumi Resources Tbk Akjoujt / Copper and Gold • SNIM Reserves : 23 Mt Cu + Au • Tasiast Mauritanie Limited SA Production : 120.000 t/ yr Concentrated to25% de Cop • Ashton Mining et 66.000 oz of Au/yr • BHP Bassin de Taoudeni • Diamet • Esgma • General Mines Services • ID Geoservices • Mauritanian Metals Pty Ltd • Murchison United NL • SRET • Somisel • Sophosma SAMIA : • Wadi Rawda Sophosma : Phosphate / Bophal Reserves : 126 Mt (21% P2O5) Gypsium / Sebkha N’Dramcha Reserves : 140 Mt Production : 50.000 t /yr 11 Policies and strategic reforms 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 Closeness of the main export market UE, 12 dependency on imports No refinery Gas: only 10% of domestic energy versus coal, wood Substantial Reserves Gas: 70 billion m3 Oil: 500 Million Barrels February 2006: beginning of offshore oil production development of prospection and exploitation of oil Intensified exploration activities in the Onshore where promising indices Favorable Legal framework for promoting private investment: mining code, PSC 13 Chinguetti (Chenaux du Mioène Prof. : 800 m / 123 M barrels / 10 years / Induced8% of growth in 2006) Banda More than 25 foreign companies, 41 blocks allocated for oil + gas Chenaux du Paléocène, 45 billion m3 Gas must be enriched for use (gas turbines) Oualata (Chenaux du Miocène Mixed field Gas (50m) / oil(220m) Reserves : 250 million of barrels) Tevet (Grès du Miocène Gas 68 m, Oil 44 m 50 to 100 million of barrels) 6 offshore deposits off shore including 4 very important 14 Growing sector(~ 18% per annum) Sahara, coastline, oasis, cultural and ecology Sector being organized Priority for Government /PRSP II Favorable geographical position Infrastructure development: roads, Airports, bridge on the Senegal River Diversity of landscapes Natural reserves protected Wealth of cultural heritage Tradition of hospitality Actors / Managers General Direction of Tourism National Tourism Office (ONT) New Touristic and hotel training centre Active Operating Tours 90% french 150 authorized travel agencies Capacities underdeveloped 6 Hotels in Nouakchott (in the standards) 3 Hotels in Nouadhibou 15 …in a context of global energy crisis and shortage of supply Electricity Electric Energy supply wide deficit (Cv : 54% urban and 3% rural) Wind:~ Average 7 m/s (10 m above ground) 7.641 KWh/m2/yr high potential for solar and wind power Generation Solar: Average duration 8h/day 4,6 KWh/m2/day 16 Solar Currently used for only some applications: The lighting , audio and audiovisual equipment, water pumping at small rural localities the abundance of sunshine in the country ) The R Es… A solution for a clean and alternative energy Wind Unexploited Potential Lack of experience and technology 17
