Construction of a Grain Terminal in Nouakchott, Islamic Republic of Mauritania

Strategic Importance of the Project

Nouakchott, as a key transport and economic hub of Mauritania, benefits from a favorable geographic location on the Atlantic coast. This creates strong potential for the development of a major logistics hub serving not only domestic needs but also neighboring regions.

The establishment of the grain terminal will:

• ensure reliable storage of agricultural products in a hot climate;

• optimize supply chains for grain and processed products;

• reduce logistical costs and transportation losses;

• create a foundation for the development of the food industry;

• strengthen regional food security.

Project Readiness

At the current stage, the project demonstrates a high level of readiness. A comprehensive technological framework has been developed, including solutions for grain intake, storage, drying, and shipment. The use of modern elevator systems compliant with international safety and efficiency standards is envisaged.

In addition:

• logistics routes have been thoroughly developed;

• access to the required material and technical resources has been secured;

• a cooperation model with local partners has been established;

• regional climatic and infrastructure conditions have been fully taken into account.

Implementation Prospects

The Nouakchott grain terminal project is considered part of a broader strategy for the development of agro-industrial infrastructure across African countries.

Its implementation will create conditions for:

• scaling logistics projects;

• expanding export-import operations;

• establishing sustainable trade links;

• attracting new investment to the region.

The Foundation is open to cooperation and ready to provide additional information to interested partners and investors.
