** A1. ** The information service combines market analysis, design of forescat advice, tailored to users (producers, SMEs, institutions) and technological flexibility ** A2. ** It is based on a principle of training, information and advice grouped together within an economic intelligence service ** A3. ** The training strengthens the capacity of the institution FENPROSE to use information for decision-making ** A4. ** Most of the service in Senegal is provided by the FENPROSE takeover bids (price collection, information dissemination, internal advice, etc.), which in return receive a decrypted information on the state of the market and which directly touches over 6,000 producers ** A5. ** Thus, with a very low intervention cost, the agricultural council created has a much greater potential for sustainability, both financially and in terms of strengthening local skills.
