Senegal
Import & Export Trade DataA fast-growing $18B+ trade economy anchoring the UEMOA region. From dominant exports of gold, refined petroleum, and seafood to critical inbound flows of heavy machinery and essential cereals—access verified shipment-level intelligence mapping Senegal's vital Atlantic trade nodes.
Gateway to West Africa
Senegal is the most stable logistical hub in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA). The Port of Dakar acts as a critical transshipment point for landlocked Mali and other regional neighbors, handling over 25% of regional trade flows.
The Oil & Gas Horizon
With the commencement of production at the Sangomar and GTA fields, Senegal is transitioning from a fuel importer to a significant crude petroleum and LNG exporter. Tracking this shift is essential for energy market analysts focused on the African continent.
Gold, Chemicals & Fish
Senegal’s export base is diversified across gold, phosphoric acid (produced from local phosphate mines), and a world-class fishing industry. These commodities drive the majority of non-energy revenue, with significant reach into Swiss, Indian, and European markets.
Senegal maintains strong historical ties with France while expanding its trade horizontally with Mali (its primary regional buyer) and globally with China and India.
Explore Senegal's primary trade sectors—from its high-value gold and seafood exports to the critical machinery and refined fuels needed to power its national development.
Senegal's primary import category. Refined petroleum and oils are essential for electricity generation, industrial operations, and the national transport network.
Critical for the ongoing oil and gas infrastructure boom. Includes boilers, turbines, and specialized mining equipment imported from France and China.
Senegal imports massive volumes of rice (from Thailand/India) and wheat (from France/Russia) to maintain food security for its urban centers.
Passenger cars and commercial trucks are imported from France, Asia, and Germany. The delivery fleet is vital for regional transshipment to Mali.
High-value packaged medicaments and vaccines imported primarily from France and India to support Senegal's advanced public health and clinical network.
Smartphones, telecommunications hardware, and electrical transformers imported to support national digitization and grid expansion projects.
Unwrought, non-monetary gold is Senegal's top revenue generator. Sourced from the Kedougou region, it is exported for refining primarily to Switzerland and the UAE.
Refined petroleum and now emerging crude oil shipments. This sector is the fastest-growing part of the economy following the 2024 Sangomar field startup.
A staple non-mineral export. Fresh and frozen fish, molluscs, and crustaceans are exported extensively to European (Spain, France) and Asian markets.
Derived from Senegal's vast phosphate deposits, phosphoric acid is a vital industrial chemical exported primarily to India for use in global fertilizer production.
Senegal is a traditional leader in peanut exports. Raw groundnuts and peanut oil are shipped en masse to China and Europe, supporting millions of rural livelihoods.
Produced in large local plants, cement is exported regionally to neighbors like Mali and Gambia, alongside zircon and titanium ores destined for China.

Senegal is the economic heart of French-speaking West Africa. Tracking its trade provides a macro-level indicator of regional stability and global commodity supply.
With the launch of the Sangomar and GTA projects, Senegal is now a key player in the Atlantic energy basin. Shipment data allows analysts to track exact monthly volumes of crude and LNG leaving Dakar to forecast West African supply health.
Senegal is a massive importer of rice and wheat. Tracking these shipments from Thailand and France allows global agri-traders to target specific food importers and monitor regional staple food security levels.
The Port of Dakar handles nearly 40% of the trade for landlocked Mali. Analyzing cargo entering Dakar destined for Kidira allows logistics firms to map West Africa's most vital transit supply chains.
As gold represents over 20% of non-energy exports, Senegal is a global benchmark. Commodities traders use shipment data to track exact volumes of raw gold leaving the country to forecast refinery supply and market pricing.
