Sector Classification
Food and Beverage
Development need
Senegal faces low food sovereignty and imported 70% of its food products in 2024. It also faces low food security with 21% of the population being food insecure, in 2023. The sector is also characterized by a low productivity, contributing 15.5% GDP in 2024. Finally, the sector is a significant contributor to GHG emissions but is vulnerable to climate change (1, 2, 3, 4).
Policy priority
The Strategie Nationale de Developpement 2025-2029 aims at increasing the agricultural productivity and fostering its modernization. The Stratégie Nationale de Sécurité Alimentaire et de Résilience 2015-2035 highlights the need for increased and diversified agricultural production as well as the importance of food processing and conservation to enhance food security (5, 6).
Gender inequalities and marginalization issues
Women represent more than half of the country’s labor force in the rural sector and significantly contribute to agricultural production, being highly active in processing and marketing of agricultural, livestock and fishery products. Yet, only 6% of them own agricultural land. For the others, their access to land largely depends on men relatives, who owns the land, affecting their land tenure security. Coastal agricultural communities in Senegal also face heightened climate risks due to sea level rise, flooding, and erosion, adding to broader national vulnerabilities linked to erratic rainfall, rising temperatures, and desertification. Finally, climate change reinforces food insecurity particularly for the poorest households (7, 8, 9, 17).
Investment opportunities introduction
Senegal agricultural sector contributed 15.5% of GDP in 2024. To increase the sector productivity, investments in means and tools of production is key. It is particularly the case in agricultural mechanization, adapted storage and water management for agricultural production (5, 10).
Key bottlenecks introduction
Senegal’s agri-food industry faces climate vulnerability, low processing, poor infrastructure, and low mechanization, as well as weak market access, price volatility and weak regulations. The low access to finance and insurance reinforced farmers vulnerability. Strong dependence on imports and competition also are structural challenges for the sector (11, 12, 13)
Food and Agriculture
Development need
Senegal’s agricultural sector faces low productivity with 30% post-harvest losses and low processing capacity, resulting in productivity 30% below the national average and low added value. Post-harvest loss cost USD 167 million annually. Climate change will affect traditional cash crop production such as ground nuts with decrease in yields between 5-25% (11, 14, 15, 22).
Policy priority
The Strategie Nationale de Souverainete Alimentaire (2024–2028) aims at reducing food imports and ensure self-sufficiency in key food products, such as cereals, key vegetables, eggs and milk production. The Stratégie Nationale d'Industrialisation encourages increased agricultural product processing through the development of infrastructures (12, 16).
Gender inequalities and marginalization issues
Poverty is highly concentrated in rural groundnut production basins—especially Diourbel, Kaolack, and Thiès—which together host about one-third of Senegal’s poor, compounding climate vulnerability for smallholders, including many women. In addition to climate vulnerability (floods, drought and storms), women in the agricultural sector also face significant challenges related to their land tenure rights and their limited access to financing mechanisms, production inputs, and extension services, as well as restricted market access. Finally, climate shocks particularly affects the livelihoods of rural households relying on livestock and agriculture for subsistence (14, 17, 18, 21).
Investment opportunities introduction
Senegal’s Climate Smart Agriculture Plan prioritizes investments in solar irrigation, climate-resilient seeds, storage, and climate services to boost the sector's modernization and resilience. Processing and high-value agricultural and fish products are also key to increasing the sector value added (9, 19, 20).
Key bottlenecks introduction
Limited irrigation, degraded soils, low mechanization, and weak rural infrastructure are major challenges to the agricultural sector productivity, as well as difficulties in feeding and watering livestock, problems related to animal health, access to quality seeds and intrants and the high climate vulnerability, particularly threatening rural livelihoods (12, 13).
Agricultural Products
Pipeline Opportunity
Solar cold storage for fruits and vegetables
Build and operate small size and modular cold storage units for fruits and vegetable offering space rental services as well as market-related services to farmers, cooperatives or Economic Interest Groups based on a daily, weekly or monthly fees and pay-as-you-go modality. The cold storage infrastructure is powered by solar energy and features technology (IoT) to manage the temperature and storage in real time.
Business Case
Market Size and Environment
USD 100 million - USD 1 billion
5% - 10%
The National Agency for Market Regulation (ARM) is looking to expend the cold storage capacity for horticulture products, including onion, by 100,000 tons (31).
Overall, the agricultural sector loses USD 171 millions of income yearly due to high post-harvest loss. Among these, fruits and vegetable represent more than half the loss (30).
In Senegal the cold chain market is estimated at USD 120 million in 2025 (36).
The African cold chain logistics market was estimated at USD 10.88 billion in 2024. The estimated CAGR for the African cold chain logistics market is 8.28% until 2029 (29).
Indicative Return
> 25%
According to stakeholder experience, Gross Profit Margin can exceed 50% profitability, as it rents small modular cold storage units to producers, cooperatives, or economic groups, combined with a market access support platform (36).
Investment Timeframe
Medium Term (5–10 years)
Based on an analysis conducted for the investment in a 30m3 cold storage facility owned and managed by a cooperative, it is expected that the loan will be repaid in 5 years, giving indication on a potential return on investment on the medium term for an investor (28).

Impact Case
Sustainable Development Need
In Senegal, post-harvest loses affect between 12 and 40% of GDP and amount to about USD 167 million every year, with losses in key productions such as cereals, fruits and vegetables. These losses are partially caused by the lack of cold storage infrastructure and their high costs (11, 34, 35).
In the horticulture sector for instance, post-harvest loss on farm reach 30% in average for vegetables. These represent a loss of income for the farmers and affect the food security of the population (11).
In 2022, the latest available data, rural areas host three fourth of the poor population and in rural areas 53.3% of the population lives in monetary poverty. This rate is even higher for farmers, as it reaches 67.5% among farmer households (37).
Gender & Marginalisation
In 2022, post-harvest losses in Podor (Saint Louis region) exceeded USD 10 million, affecting crops like tomatoes, onions and bananas due to inadequate cold or adapted storage. Out of the 14 storage facilities identified, 8 were not operational (34).
In the agricultural sector, women represent 70% of the workforce, but face more challenges than men in access to land, finance and production means. In addition, they play a key role in marketing of vegetables and perishable products on local markets, and therefore are more impacted by the difficult access to adapted storage. The absence of storage facilities or their high costs forces women to sell immediately after harvest, when prices are the lowest, reducing their revenues and increasing their economic vulnerability (38, 39).
Expected Development Outcome
Solar cold storage contributes to reducing post-harvest losses by addressing one of the most pressing agricultural inefficiencies in Senegal. Reducing post-harvest loss in vegetable production could increase supply by 45% per year, for a value of USD 72 million, and reduce annual vegetable imports by 22% (11).
Solar cold storage improves preservation which enables farmers to sell products at higher prices and year-round, increasing household revenues and supporting food security. In Senegal, a cold storage project with three 20 tons capacity units will enable producers to generate up to EUR 18,000 in additional income annually, an increase of 30% (35).
Solar cold storage ensures a better valorization of agricultural products which helps stabilize markets against seasonal fluctuations, improves local food security and decreases the sector's GHG emissions. For example, in Senegal, onion prices surge by 20% outside the production season. By addressing the issue, a cold storage project with a total capacity of 60 tonnes will enhance food security for 3,000 people and save 1,200 tonnes of CO2 emissions (35).
Gender & Marginalisation
Better access to reliable cold storage facilities can empower women producers and traders to delay sales, obtain better prices, thus, to secure more stable income. Therefore, cold storage supports women economic activities and empowerment (35, 40).
Increasing the cold storage capacity of the region, including through PPP projects, will reduce post-harvest loss and increase revenues from the agricultural sector (34).
Primary SDGs addressed
2.1.2 Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in the population, based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES)
In 2023, severe food security affected 4% of the population, and moderate food insecurity 29.4% in Senegal (41).
13.2.2 Total greenhouse gas emissions per year
Carbone dioxide emissions excluding LULUCF were of 0.7 tons per capita in 2023 (10).
Senegal aims at refusing GHG emissions of 7% unconditionally and 29% conditionally by 2030 (4).
1.1.1 Proportion of the population living below the international poverty line by sex, age, employment status and geographic location (urban/rural)
In 2021, the poverty ration with less than USD 3 per day was of 17.9%, with 17.6% for women and 18.2 for men (41).

Outcome Risks
High upfront costs may limit adoption by smallholders, increasing inequality if only wealthier producers access cold storage.
Poor maintenance of cold units and solar panels could reduce efficiency, shorten lifespan and limit food preservation benefits.
Dependence on unreliable electricity sources (if not fully solar-powered) could undermine system performance and increase costs.
Oversupply of preserved products at certain times may reduce prices, limiting income gains.
Gender inequality and/or marginalization risk: Without targeted measures, women traders may still face barriers to access cold storage.
Impact Risks
Climate change (heat waves, droughts) may increase cooling demand, raising costs and straining energy systems where solar systems are not enough to meet the demand of the facility.
Limited access to finance and credit can prevent scaling of cold storage in poorer or remote regions.
Weak transport and market infrastructure could reduce the use of cold storage and potential benefits of stored products.
Risk of unequal distribution of units (favoring commercial farms, big agro-industry companies and intermediaries over smallholders) exacerbates inequalities.
Gender inequality and/or marginalization risk: If cold storage ownership remains male-dominated, women producers may benefit less from improved price stability.
Impact Classification
What
Improved post-harvest preservation reducing food loss, increased farmer income, enhanced food security, and lower GHG emissions from organic waste.
Who
Directly benefits farmers, including smallholder, especially women traders in fresh produce value chains; indirectly benefits consumers and rural communities.
Risk
Adoption barriers, maintenance gaps, or unequal access may reduce expected benefits; women may be excluded if not specifically targeted.
Contribution
Brings an innovative, solar-powered storage model addressing food loss, rural poverty, and gender gaps in market access.
How Much
Vegetable supply could increase by 40%, reducing annual vegetable imports by 22%, farmers' incomes can improve by 30%, and GHG emissions ca be reduced by 1,000 tones per project (11, 35).
Impact Thesis
Build and operate solar cold storage facilities reduces post-harvest losses, increases food producers' incomes and sustainably, improves food security in rural communities and decreases GHG emissions.
