  • Sector: Agriculture Industry

  • Type: Public

  • Project manager: Ministry of Industry


  • Estimated cost (USD): USD 10 million

  • Estimated cost (FCFA): FCFA 5 billion

Niger has a high capacity for oilseed production and with this project it intends to create a groundnut, sesame and soya processing plant to produce edible oil in response to increasing household demand. The project will be set up on the outskirts of the city of Gaya, which has the specific attribute of being on the Benin, Nigeria and Burkina Faso borders. It will be built on 6-hectare area with a processing capacity of 49,000 tons of grain per year.

Benefits

  • Meet the demands of the Nigerien market which for the large part, depends on imports due to the lack of a local high-capacity modern production unit;
  • Export to neighbouring countries that are in the free trade zone with Niger: Benin, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Mali.
