AgCLIR Chapter: Dealing with Licenses

in

The business of agriculture is typically heavily regulated. Moreover, it is often regulated in a way that requires business owners to actively search out what can seem like, under the best of circumstances, inconsistent and counterintuitive licensing requirements. Operating licenses enable governments to control where, how, and under what circumstances businesses may operate.

AgCLIR Chapter: Starting A Business

in

Starting an agribusiness can be as simple as clearing an unclaimed plot of land, growing a crop of potatoes, and selling them in a nearby retail market or as complex as investing in a sophisticated manufacturing plant capable of using complex chemical extraction to turn tons of corn into products for consumption or industrial use. Most agricultural enterprises, even when oriented to production for the market, are managed by individual farmers or households who produce crops on land secured only with traditional tenure rights.

Senegal Assessment

Map of Senegal
Of Senegal's nearly 13 million citizens, over three-quarters work in the agricultural sector, yet the country relies on imports for 70 percent of its food supply-a rate higher than any other country in Sub-Saharan Africa. Most crops produced in Senegal have difficulty making it to market, if they ever do. The country's agricultural products also remain uncompetitive vis-a-vis foreign alternatives, both for local consumption and international trade.
