This was delivered by the Minister of Trade, Informal Sector, Consumption and Promotion of Local Products and UMKM of Senegal, Alioune Sarr, while receiving the Indonesian Ambassador for Senegal, Mansyur Pangeran, in Dakar not long ago.
This can also be an opportunity for Indonesian investment in Senegal in the aspect of agriculture-based industry.
Regarding this, Pangeran said that the economic cooperation and relations between Indonesia and Senegal had a huge potential to be developed.
Aside from palm oil products and their derivatives, Indonesia exports to Senegal, among others, textiles, furniture, detergent and food and beverages. Meanwhile, Indonesia imports from Senegal, among others, peanuts, cashew nuts, cotton and frozen fish.
Sarr expressed that the Senegalese government was building an industry zone in Diamniadio City, around 40 km from Dakar and hoped that Indonesia could utilize the facility as an investment opportunity by establishing industries there.
