The Compagnie sucrière sénégalaise (CSS) is set to release 80,000 tonnes of sugar into the national market in the coming days. Assane Ndiaye, the company’s Human Resources Director, announced the move on May 16, 2026, stating that this volume is intended to maintain a steady supply over the next few months.
Strategic Market Supply
According to Mr. Ndiaye, the company is prioritizing sustainable storage capacity to ensure that sugar remains regularly available across the country. He asserted that this quantity is sufficient to ensure a “correct supply” of the national market.
The announcement was made following a walk during the “72 heures de la Sucrière.” This event, held in Richard-Toll, was organized by the women workers of the CSS.

Ndiaye praised the efforts of the agronomic and technical teams mobilized for the sugar campaign. He indicated that the combined work of the general management and production staff could not only meet but potentially exceed established targets.
The activities in Richard-Toll also included a partnership with the Olympic Organizing Committee (COJOJ). A walk was initiated to raise awareness among the local population regarding an event scheduled to take place in Dakar in October and November 2026.
