Senegal's confectionery peanut supply chain : the challenge of controlling aflatoxin levels
The European Union's new standards on aflatoxin pose considerable challenges for countries exporting confectionery peanuts, like Senegal. This article describes the main elements of a project aiming to promote this supply chain, and bringing together the authorities, research, industrialists and other actors in the chain. One of the key aims of the project is to put into place a new quality control and certification procedure for confectionery peanut products destined for export. This has led to a focus on the country's laboratory capabilities – with a reinforcement of the industry's own selfmonitoring labs and the establishment of a national reference laboratory authorized to certify lots for export. The aim is to create a quality label for Senegalese peanuts, which will orient the activities of actors all along the supply chain.
