Analysis report on biomass production in 2023 in the Sahel - SIG Sahel

Biomass production globally close to normal in the Sahelian zone of West Africa
Biomass production higher than normal in the southwest of Mauritania, extending to the northern border of Senegal and the central Sahel region and in Burkina Faso
Very low biomass production in the northern limit of the Sahelian belt
Very low biomass production in the Lake Chad basin area
Negative biomass production anomalies along the coastal countries, particularly in Benin
High vulnerability in the northern border of the Sahel
Security issues severely hinder the mobility of herds and access to pastures and water resources in the Central Sahel. This is in addition to mobility restrictions towards the coastal countries, especially Benin and Togo
