Senegal's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Senegal's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Senegal dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.

Senegal's own tracked-export mix

Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Senegal's own $777.4 million of tracked exports, not by world trade. Peanuts alone is 25% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Senegal compares with other countries.
