High Priority- 2008: Agricultural YearHigh Priority- 2008: Agricultural Year
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
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/yearof which 40% is exported on foot without VAAssociated branches still not exploited (red meat, leather and skins)
5
Diversified Diversified branches branches
Primary production limited by the small production of red meat; Opportunity to develop the sub sector and export to Europe, WA and Maghreb
Milk and Diary products
Unsatisfied domestic demandImports 49,000 T per yearSmall 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)
Exporting cattle on foot: Senegal-Mali-Morocco-Algeria-Libya soon. Possibility of transformation after fattening and then export to the Maghreb and Golf countries
Leather and Skins
Red meat
6
Diversified production chainsDiversified production chains
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)
Import Substitution mainly from the sub regionSmall national productionExportation to EU
Cattle Food
Vegetables & fruits
Cereals/RiceFavorable Climatic conditionsWorld Crisis and escalation of priceCoverage of national needs only 24%, remaining imported
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

Fishing …strategic sector, 2nd pillar of the country exports
Potential Fisheries 720 km coastal facade1.5 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
Domestic production Domestic production mostly exported without Added value to EU, Asia, sub regionOnly 10% processed High diversity of fishes 700 of which are of high value
Fisheries Agreements Opening of Mauritanian waters to European boatsActual captures (~700.000 t/yr)Industrial Fisheries: 90%Artisanal and inshore fisheries : 10%
Sector place in the economy 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 approvedfor EU exports
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
