The milk sector in the Senegalese Sahel

A case study of the dairy industry in northern Senegal: In the sylvo-pastoral zone of Ferlo. "Farmers associated with the Laiterie du Berger dairy have adopted several digital tools to manage milk collection, payments and even cattle feed sales", explains Jean-Daniel Cesaro, a CIRAD geographer specializing in flows related to livestock production within territories who is in charge of this Digital agriculture project site. With the support of the Senegalese Institute of Agricultural Research in Saint Louis and the dairy innovation platform (PIL) in Dagana, the study will compare the situation of farmers associated with the Laiterie du Berger with that of those who are not.
