SENAR (Senegal Peanut) is a Senegalese family SME based in Dakar and launched in 1982 by Mrs. Lydie Sagbo. The company specializes in the processing and marketing of groundnuts. SENAR is the first Senegalese company to market peanuts in Dakar supermarkets. In 1987, Lydie Sagbo expanded its offer by offering cashews and corn (popcorn) under the name of LYSA’s delicacies (in reference to Lysa Sagbo).
In 2015, her daughter, Sylvie Sagbo Gommard, after more than fifteen years spent abroad in the field of finance, took over the management of the company created by her mother to ensure its development and sustainability. In 2017, Sylvie Sagbo Gommard and Teranga Capital renamed the company Lysa & Co.
Lysa & Co is a company specialized in the processing and marketing of agricultural products such as peanuts, cashews and corn. Bearer of the famous brand Sénar – Les Délices de Lysa, it offers healthy and natural products, of high taste quality, made with local raw materials transformed according to artisanal processes.
In 36 years of existence, the family business of yesteryear is becoming a success story in the field of agribusiness with distinctions such as the incentive prize at the SIA 2018 (International Agricultural Show in Paris) and the respect of values such as the label “made in Senegal”, “100% natural” “hand made”.
The products are mainly marketed in large retail chains in Senegal (CASINO, AUCHAN, EXCLUSIVE, CITYDIA, etc.), in hotels (e.g. NOVOTEL), and in direct sales to individuals in Dakar (e.g. Dakar Farmers Market).
