Senegal's President Inaugurates Textile Factory
The AVCI Global Industrie factory in Diamniadio is set to become a lever for local processing of raw materials, according to Bassirou Diomaye Faye's statement.
"It marks the return of a textile know-how that Senegal had almost lost," the president said.
Part of the processing will now be carried out on national territory, "where the country used to export its raw cotton," the statement noted.
"The project anticipates two hundred jobs, mostly for women and young people, and a transfer of skills intended to remain in Senegal."
