Senegalese farmers work in the fields on April 28, 2008, in Djilakh, 80km south of Dakar where a Senegalese-Spanish experimental farming project is under way. Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade launched a drive to create higher food production called, “Great Agricultural Offensive for Food and Abundance (GOANA), to take care of Senegal’s short-term food requirements. Wade pledged 15 million euros in aid money to farmers after poor rainfall and primary good price hikes due to high fuel prices.
