Resumen

This study develops a social impact oyster farming model for the Saloum Delta (Senegal), focused on improving income and working conditions of women oyster farmers through suspended cultivation of Magallana gigas (Thunberg 1793) and Crassostrea tulipa (Lamarck 1819). Using the Social Canvas Model and an economic-financial evaluation based on a 5% discount rate, an integrated system is proposed that includes seed production, purification, and processing, with an estimated initial investment of € 572,000. The model generates 26 direct jobs, ensures positive accumulated cash flow during the evaluation period, and achieves financial sustainability under the zero NPV criterion. It is observed that profitability depends on combining both marketing formats (live oysters and dried meat), with exclusive production of dried meat being unfeasible. The approach adopted allows for designing a replicable, financially viable model that is consistent with the aquaculture development and poverty reduction objectives promoted by the Senegalese government.
