Thiès : Saisie de plus d’une tonne de semences de pommes de terre impropres et détournées
The regional trade service of Thiès intercepted, on Friday, December 26, 2025, more than a ton of subsidized potato seeds, diverted from production areas and sold illegally on the market.
According to Khadim Ndiaye, the chief economic investigator, these seeds, intended exclusively for agricultural production, are "unfit for human and animal consumption" and therefore dangerous to health. Their illegal sale is fueling a "vast and rapidly expanding network."
The Ministry of Commerce claims to have acted swiftly to put an end to this practice, which undermines the state's food sovereignty policy. According to Mr. Ndiaye, the diverted quantity represents an estimated loss of nearly 19 tons of potatoes in terms of yield.
The accused bought the 25 kg bag for 16,000 FCFA and resold it for 17,000 FCFA, for a total loss estimated at 875,000 FCFA. He has been taken into custody.
