Ousmane Sonko traveled to Bambali, in the Sédhiou region, at the invitation of Sadio Mané to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the Senegalese striker’s agro-industrial project.

The president of the National Assembly joined several officials, including Trade Minister Serigne Guèye Diop, at the event. Upon arrival, he was welcomed by Sadio Mané, the promoter behind SM10 Agro.

An 11.7 billion FCFA investment

The Bambali agro-industrial park is led by Sadio Mané and aims to boost the processing of local agricultural products, particularly mango. Project details presented at the ceremony put the announced investment at 11.7 billion FCFA.

The laying of the foundation stone officially kicks off construction in the footballer’s home village.

A project focused on agricultural processing

The future complex is expected to strengthen mango treatment and processing capacity in the region. Promoters announce a processing capacity of 8,500 tonnes per year and the creation of more than 1,000 direct jobs, with a target of 2,500 jobs eventually.

The initiative seeks to enhance the value of local agricultural output and support economic activity in the Sédhiou region.
