Senegal subsidiary

After 20 years in the subsidiary "BIO3G", in January 2020 I moved into the position of Commercial Director of the Éléphant Vert Group. Then in March 2021, I took the position of General Manager in the subsidiary of Éléphant Vert Senegal. So I have been part of the group for 24 years.

My main motivation is to be a stakeholder in the agricultural developments we are experiencing in West Africa in a global context destabilized by the exceptional inflation of agricultural inputs.

The challenge is all the greater in Senegal, because inputs are based exclusively on imported chemical fertilizers, which neglect the contribution of organic matter in very poor soils. The consequence is a drop in food crop yields. We are therefore talking about a food issue in a growing population demography.

This problem develops the ambition of Éléphant Vert Senegal: not only to be a leader in the manufacture and distribution of bio-inputs such as organic fertilizers and soil improvers, but also a biological alternative to chemical plant protection products.

To achieve this, we work on the entire value chain: collection of raw materials, transportation, industrial transformation, farmer training, distribution and monitoring of results in the field. This entire chain is synonymous with job creation in the years to come. With the company’s men and women, we are going to win this amazing challenge on the lands of "Teranga".
