Irrigable potential along the Senegal river underexploited
with 137,000 hectares of lands only 42,000 hectares
of which is used and 12,000 to 15,000 hectares
are indeed exploited yearly.

Fishing …a strategic sector,
pillar of exports |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|

Major reforms
Strategic Reforms
Suppression export tax (1996)
- Fishing Code (2000) and its application decree
(2002)
- Creation of a National Safety Inspection of
Fishing Products Office (2006)
- Development of plans for establishing sustainable
fisheries to preserve (ex: octopus)
- Improvement of infrastructures: roads, ports…
- Key Constraints
|
| |
Key Constraints
- Excess fishing effort on some categories :
(overexploitation of cephalopods (octopus) and
key coastal demersal species) while other resources
are barely exploited;
- Obligation to get safety and quality certification
for fishing products hampers the increase in
the export of some products (ex: clams) and
the development of processed products;
- Cost factors : port passage, imported energy
and industrial intrants (no fiscal measure incentives);
- SMCP Monopoly on fish exports (mainly cephalopods);
- End of preferential regime granted to ACP
countries (in 2008) in term of export protection
compared to competitive Asian products
Anticipated short and medium term
reforms
- Development of industrial processing sector
- Promotion of the exploitation of under-exploited
resources (ex: clams, crabs)
- Development and improvement of port infrastructures:
construction of a pelagic loading port in NDB,
dock extension and equipment of NDB independent
port, improvement of PAN navigational markers
and removal of shipwrecks
- Strengthening safety control for export certification
for IMROP agreement
- Revision fishing taxation
- Development of an information system on fishing
- Strengthening ENEMP to better respond to the
sector's needs
FUTUIRE PROSPECS
·- Develop partnerships among Mauritanian
and European companies : fishing royalties for
one party and capitals and technologies for the
other
·- Invest in processing industry;
·- Invest in aquaculture (shrimp, oysters)
