Here are the five criteria every serious wholesaler must verify before listing a partner.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Manufacturer or Intermediary?<\/h3>\n<p>Does your supplier manufacture the products themselves? A direct manufacturer guarantees a price without intermediary margins, direct access to quality teams, and the ability to adapt volumes.<\/p>\n<p>AFI is a manufacturer: its Vitameal (milk cereals) and VitaFruit (fruit desserts) ranges are produced in Marrakech, in its own industrial facility.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Which Certifications for Import to Senegal?<\/h3>\n<p>Importing food products into Senegal involves entry controls. An exporting supplier must provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ONSSA Approval<\/strong> \u2014 a condition for export from Morocco. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onssa.gov.ma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ONSSA<\/a> is the official body that certifies food manufacturing establishments in Morocco before any export.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISO 22000 Certification<\/strong> \u2014 international food safety management standard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HACCP Compliance<\/strong> \u2014 risk analysis across the entire manufacturing chain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IFS V6<\/strong> \u2014 retail\/distribution standard recognized by B2B buyers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Halal Certification (IMANOR)<\/strong> \u2014 essential for distribution in Senegal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>AFI holds all of these certifications. Documents are available on request.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Volume Regularity and Restocking Capacity<\/h3>\n<p>AFI produces at industrial scale and exports to more than 25 countries. Its production capacity is sized to absorb regular orders on the Senegalese market.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Export Packaging and Logistics<\/h3>\n<p>AFI shipments to Senegal transit through the <strong>port of Dakar<\/strong>. Export packaging, palletization, Incoterms, and lead times are defined in the quote based on the volume ordered.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Traceability and Batch Management<\/h3>\n<p>AFI ensures complete batch traceability across its entire export range.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab843e7f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ab843e7f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a07e49fa e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a07e49fa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-563da8e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"563da8e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Senegalese Baby Food Market: Why This Segment Is Strategic<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e738e8f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e738e8f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Senegal is one of the fastest-growing markets in West Africa for quality infant nutrition.
