Key reforms
- Focus on the increased role of the private
sector in production, processing and marketing
activities
- Liberal commercial regime: liberalization
of prices and of internal and external trade
- More import or export licenses
- Lifting of protectionist measurements
- Maximum rates of the tax law on imports brought
back to 20 %
- Value added tax reduced to 14 %
- Develop and diversify export according to
opportunities given by foreign markets
- In taxation, exporting firms will benefit
from the " régime des points francs
" (new investment policies) established
by the 2002 Investment Code.
Evolution of Private Investments
Example : Evolution of Foreign
Direct Investment Flows
- GDM, a branch of the European group "
Compagnie fruitière de Marseille ":
production in the zone of Trarza intended for
export to the European market (green beans,
melons, okra, hot peppers)
- Hydro-agrarian Investments: ~ 200 hectares
- Installations of conditioning/cold chains
- Research/outreach
- Production contract with the farmers of the
valley
Key Constraints to competitiveness
- Land regulation (regime of national estates
ownership) / GDM Pilot Experience
- High production costs: require the introduction
of new technologies
- Unskilled farm labor
- Competition of products (fruits and vegetables)
imported from Morocco which circumvent customs
laws
- Quality norms imposed by the international
market (food products, Arabic gum / Quality
production, organic products
Anticipated short and medium term
Reforms
- Development of agricultural sectors able
of generating added value ;
- Improvement of product quality to increase
competitiveness on the national market, broadly
opened to the outside products ;
- Research of new export markets ;
- Increase of market size/ regional and international
Integration: RIM-UE cooperation (Cotonou Agreement),
UMA;
- Promote a favorable fiscal and regulation
framework for the export of output products
and for the import of intrants.
