Rice Production and Green Charcoal in Senegal

AgriDjalo, a small limited liability company is focussing on rice cultivation, are looking to start projects in Senegal that use urban biomass (primarily human waste) to fertilize rice fields. With over 40 per cent of Senegal's almost 13 million inhabitants living in urban areas, there is an abundant supply of human fertilizer.

AgriDjalo's project could have the added benefit of decreasing reliance on rice imports. In 2012 alone, Senegal imported 820,000 metric tonnes of rice, accounting for over 6 per cent of its total imports and presenting a considerable strain on the nation's trade balance. As the second largest rice importer in Sub-Saharan Africa and one of the top ten worldwide, Senegal has much to gain, both in terms of income generation and decreased import dependency, from an increase in domestic rice production.
