The Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Senegal has announced the lifting of the ban on onion imports, effective from August 31, 2026. This decision ends a period of regulation that began on January 16, 2026, and was intended to boost domestic sales and protect local small producers' markets. The reopening of the market is subject to quotas and authorizations that can be granted until December 31, 2026. The ministry aims to maintain regular supplies and contain price pressures for consumers. Importers are advised to contact the Market Regulation Agency (ARM) for necessary arrangements.
