Mali: Mali Modern Mills (M3) Project

SAP Projet Number: P-ML-AAG-003

Introduction

The Mali Modern Mills (M3) is a company belonging to the Group Keita and created in 2007.

During 4 years of operation, its turnover increased by 72.5%. That indicates the strong

potential of the Malian and regional market in the food sector. M3 intends to focus on the

need for pasta and couscous, which are mainly imported, by creating factories for producing

pasta and couscous. The project is justified by the existence of a buoyant market for

structured companies such as those of the Keita Group.

The project is located approximately 230 km from Bamako, in the Rural Commune of

Sébougou which is almost melted in the city of Ségou. It is located on a plot involving eight

contiguous land titles (TF No. 1133-1140 ) with a total area of 7 ha 15 a 38 ca, all belonging to

the Company M3. The town is under the supervision of the Sous-Prefect of Ségou. The

project’s influence extends to the rural commune of Sébougou and Ségou and its

surroundings.

1. Project description

The project involves the installation of units more or less related for the production of

couscous and pasta. These include silos for the storage of raw materials (hard wheat, soft

wheat, maize, millet and sorghum), three (03) mills for the production of meal and flour to be

used to supply production lines. These lines will be used in the production of long pulp,

short pasta and couscous based on mixing, baking, drawing, cutting, screening, drying,

wrapping and the package.

Associated facilities include: boilers (steam and hot water), air compressors (compressed air

production), refrigerators (cooling water production), and electric transformers (conversion

of equipments’ voltages).

The waste product (cereals bran) is valued by the production of cattle feed for which there is

a production unit.

The project will result in the creation of 123 direct jobs for a total investment of 26.058 billion

FCFA.

2. Political and legal framework

In Mali, the political and legal framework for the protection and preservation of the

environment and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment build on the key legal

and regulatory texts including:

- The Strategic Framework for Growth and Poverty Reduction

3

- The National Policy for Environmental Protection

- Mali Industrial Development Policy Document (October 2004)

- Law No. 01-020 / of 30 May 2001 on pollution and nuisance

- Decree No. 08-346/P-RM of June 26, 2008 as amended, relating to the environmental

and social impact study

- Order No. 07-2652 / MS-SG of 26 September 2007, fixing the rates for fixed fee of

authorization on the food market, animal feed and food additives and its

management.

- The investment code, currently in force in Mali, was established by Act No. 2012-016

of 27 February 2012 and its implementing Decree No. 2012-475 / RM 20 August 2012.

There are international legal instruments ratified by Mali, relevant to the project:

- Declaration on Environment and Development (Rio, 1992)

- Objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (New York, 2000)

- The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change

- The Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage

3. Objective of the ESMP and methodological approach

The main objective is to provide M3, its partners and policy makers a tool for the

environment respect and protection in the context of the couscous and pasta project’s

implementation. That involves the prevention of environmental degradation and

deterioration of the living conditions of populations due to M3 project’s implementation,

information and participation of stakeholders at various stages of the project and the

protection of the project riparian communities.

The study was conducted through a participatory approach involving all stakeholders. For

the establishment of the initial state, the literature review, collection of data from technical

services and the mayor have been used. There was also noise measurements and air testing.

Impact identification was made using the Leopold matrix that connects the elements of the

project (sources or impact factors) with the environment components. The impact assessment

was made by the equation Aucamp: Importance = Probability x Consequence where

Consequence = Severity + spatial extent + time. Mitigation or enhancement measures were

proposed, based on legal requirements, best practices and suggestions of stakeholders

consulted.

4. Context

Climate: The climate is Sahelian, characterized by an average annual rainfall of 597 mm. The

average annual temperature in the region is 25.9 ° C with the peak 41.7 ° C in April. It winds

in the area at an average rate of about 1 to 1.5 m / s. The air humidity ranges from 30 to 94%.

Soil: The soil is composed of two units: the topsoil with a thickness of 20 cm and the gray

sandy loam with a thickness of about 1.80 m, suggesting a high permeability.

Landscape: the landscape is made up of three layers namely the Boulevard 2000, residential

homes up to approximately 4m and two storey houses and more and structures of the

existing M3 factory.

Surface waters: they are mainly represented by the Niger River with a basin of

approximately 134,000 km² in Ségou.

5

Groundwater: At the study area, we distinguish two main aquifers which are: Continental

terminal quaternary aquifer and recovery aquifer or shallow aquifer. The project will supply

through the first.

The soundscape: The Existing factory and traffic on the Boulevard 2000 are the two major

noise pollution factors in the project area. Diurnal measurements yielded levels between 37

and 53dB for the immediate environment and between 52 and 76.9 dB in the factory. For

night extent, levels are between 37 and 56.7 dB for the immediate environment and between

44.5 and 66.3 dB at the factory. The project is located in a residential complex that is a

sensitive receptor area. The existing noise levels do not exceed the World Bank standards.

Air quality: The University of Mali Chemistry Analytical Laboratory sampled sulfides and

suspended particles. The major components of particulate matter are the sulfates, nitrates,

ammonium chloride, sodium, carbon, minerals, and water. In view of the measurements

results, the air quality in the project area is poor.

Socio-economic environment

Population: In the area, villages are managed by a village chief and his advisors while

households are managed by a head of household. According to the projections of the Local

Service for Planning, Statistics, Information, and Population (SLPSIAP), the population of the

commune of Sébougou is estimated at 18,798 people with 9,625 women and 9173 men. 85%

of the population is between 0 and 45 years with 48% of working age. Bambara is the most

spoken language. Islam is the dominant religion with 95% of practitioners.

Education: Education is taught in 25 schools, of which (10) in the village of Sébougou.

Sébougou has ten school infrastructure including public/private schools and madrasas, first

and second cycle. The enrollment rate is 104.4 % for boys and 87.8% for girls in an overall

rate of 96% in 2012-2013. These rates are higher than the national rate. In 2012 - 2013, the

CAP identified 3076 students. The education sector has the support of NGOs Intervida and

Alphalog through the construction of infrastructure. There is a university in the project area

that trains in the field of agro business.

Health: At Sébougou, health is ensured by the Community Health Centre which has a staff

of 9 people. It possesses a drug deposit. The staff is supported in its work by villagers’ relays.

Care is paid but accessible to all users. The most common diseases are diarrhea, malaria,

respiratory infections, dermatitis and conjunctivitis. Complicated cases are sent to the Ségou

Reference Health Center, about 6 km. Self-medication is a common practice. The rate of

health coverage is 90 % and the CSCOM attendance rate is 80%.

Access to drinking water: There 17 public fountains, 8 drillings and 6 modern wells at

Sébougou. The need for water points in the village of Sébougou is estimated at 17 against

three existing. It is noteworthy to mention that many families have their own wells.

6

Cultural and archaeological resources: Within the project area, there are significant cultural

resources. These are Biton 7 vestibules, its tomb and the mosque he built for his mother.

Recall that Biton was the founder of the Bambara kingdom of Ségou.

Gender and status of women: They help physically and economically to the family life.

However, their involvement in decision-making is low. They face the overload of family and

work disadvantaged by their low level of education.

Production activities: Farming is managed by DRA, ON and ORS. We encounter there two

of agricultural systems types (pluvial and irrigated). Producers are organized into: Farmer

Organizations, Village Associations, informal groups and cooperatives.

Livestock is the second economic activity in M3 Project area but mainly practiced by the

Fulani. The livestock population is mainly composed of small ruminants (sheep / goats),

large ruminants (cattle), equine, donkeys and poultry.

Fishing is mainly practiced by the Bozo and Somono. Fisheries sector constitutes the main

activity of populations settled along the river. Fishing is individual, uses the net as

equipment and is practiced on the river. Nevertheless, fishermen are grouped in association.

Northern crisis context and food insecurity: Since January 2012, the northern Mali knows a

security and political crisis marked by the occupation of the three northern regions (Gao,

Timbuktu and Kidal) and part of the Regions of Mopti and Segou. That crisis led to the

displacement of 36,045 people in the area and the departure of about 100 tamasheques

families from the commune of Niono. We are witnessing a return to normal. By January

2013, approximately 55% had returned to their home areas. If that trend continues, there will

be no impact related to the project on food security in relation to the crisis in the north.

5. Community participation

It place in two phases. The first phase consisted of a perception survey of the neighborhood.

Perceptions and suggestions of respondents focused on existing activities on the M3 site.

They made some complaints and claims. Perceptions expressed are : youth employment at

the Sébougou plant, insect outbreaks from products handled by M3, crowded lanes by M3

trucks, air pollution and noise, the 'no’ channel communication with M3 and the need to

create income generating activities for women.

There was then a public consultation aimed for the Technical Services, the administrative

and political authorities, the civil society and communities. It was organized by the Prefect of

Segou who invited all stakeholders by circular. It was held in Bamanankan language that is

understood by the majority of the stakeholders in the meeting room of the City of Sébougou.

The perspectives of the stakeholders included:

The recruitment of local labor (young women) to the plant;

7

The creation of a framework for cooperation and dialogue between the people and M3;

Strict observance of the Labour Code ;

M3 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) (accompanying the mayor in development activities : roads, day safety, capacity building of CSCOM Sébougou) ;

The fight against the proliferation of insects from the seeds ;

Safety systems: the Civil Protection representative reported that the installation of fire hydrants for such an installation is an obligation;

The pollution (noise, dust) ;

The decrease in the purchase price of products (pasta and couscous) ;

The management and treatment of water through the construction of septic tanks;

The risks out of stock of raw materials for the factory.

The points raised are also concerns for M3, which has made proposals for solutions in the

context of this study.

6. Impacts of the project

Impacts sources are : construction works, procurement of the plant with raw materials, seed

cleaning and packaging of grains (moisture combined action of heat), milling (grinding,

breakdown and converting, sifting, sluice), the manufacture of different products (kneading,

pressing and stretching or drawing, pre-drying and drying), packaging manufactured

products (bagging, packaging, cardboard, etc.), human presence, management of liquid and

solid wastes , the physical presence of facilities.

Environmental aspects, likely to be affected by the project are: air quality , sound

atmosphere, surface waters and groundwater, soil, landscape, jobs and the economy, local

entrepreneurship, cultural heritage, health and safety of people and workers, food for

communities.

The following impacts were identified and evaluated:

Soil: The earthworks and construction, transportation and storage of construction materials,

the installation of machinery and equipment will result in compaction, texture modification

and change of initial soil profile. The use of chemicals (cement, paint, anti rust, etc.),

hydrocarbon spills or lubricant and poor handling of chemicals such as detergents will result

8

in pollution and degradation of the soil chemical quality and the disruption of

microorganisms.

Landscape: the physical presence of the plant will make the elevators and roof

infrastructures individual elements in the local landscape.

Soundscape: the movement of vehicles and construction equipment, various works,

installation of machinery and plant equipment will increase the noise level of the area with

the risk of exceeding acceptable standards.

Air quality: The work generating dust, the operation of diesel engines, transportation of

friable materials, painting exterior surfaces will cause air pollution and deterioration of the

quality by dust, odor and air pollutants. Manipulation of the flour, which is a very brittle

product, the grains cleaning can release dust and that would impair the quality of the flour

particles in the air.

Surface waters: Earthworks, handling of chemicals on site, boiler operation and the human

presence could damage the water chemical quality (chemical contamination, hydrocarbon

and lubricant, etc.).

Groundwater: The storage and handling of hydrocarbons, the establishment of industrial

infrastructure (construction of the plant, serving network, etc.), and human activities on the

site could alter the quality of groundwater contamination by hydrocarbons and products

used on site.

Population: The nature of the project is such that it does not result in an influx of job seekers.

We can therefore conclude that the project will have no impact on the population and

demographics.

Employment and local economy: Dozens of laborers will work on the construction site. This

has the advantage of strengthening the technical capacity of local labor. The skills acquired

in this project will promote the access of workers with similar work on other projects. The

new M3 project will create 123 new direct and permanent jobs. It will inject tens of millions

of francs into the economy through workers. Tax receipts at Ségou will also increase. It will

promote the development of SMEs in the sale of M3 products.

Local entrepreneurship: The project will provide opportunities for local subcontractors in

several areas: construction, sale of goods and equipment related to the activities of the

project services (catering, cleaning, waste disposal etc.). The project will create favorable

conditions for the development of Malian firms in the areas concerned. The M3 project will

provide opportunities to provide services such as education, communication, advertising

and repairs. The project will create business opportunities for local SMEs.

Health and Safety: The implementation of the project’s industrial infrastructure, transport

and storage of materials, construction and plant operation will result in respiratory

problems, infections and diseases related to the development of pollution, the risk of injury

9

as a result of an accident. Seed cleaning and handling of flour inside the factory and shops

expose workers to dust-related and flour particles lung disease.

Conditions of women and gender: jobs chain for women will lower the unemployment rate

of women and improve their living conditions. The use of products will reduce the drudgery

of housework.

Communities’ food security: M3 production capacity exceeds Malian imports. Through this

project, M3 will lead to better products availability on the market. Consumers will be

protected from stock outs. M3 is committed to a quality policy through the establishment of

the ISO 9001 and SMSDA standards. It will therefore provide the market with good quality

products. By focusing on such factors as wheat fields in the ON zone, its warehouses, its

park for trailers and trucks as well as its customs duties exemption, M3 will supply the

market with competitive prices products.

The socio political and security context has improved considerably. In less than two years,

nearly 55% of the displaced refugees in Segou returned to their areas of origin. Cereal

production and consumption follows the same trend back to the pre-crisis situation.

Therefore, there is no conjunction between M3 supply on the local grain market and the

consequences of the current crisis in northern Mali to have food insecurity. That context is

supported by the SAP report which puts the project area among the areas unexposed to

insecurity during the 2013 - 2014 campaign.

M3 supply of raw materials on food security: The opportunity to generate immediate and

safe monetary resources created by M3 whet the appetite of communities in terms of cash.

Farmers will be tempted to sell their products without considering their actual food needs. In

the absence of support measures before and during the buying campaigns, they will thus be

exposed to food insecurity.

Communities’ food: M3 production capacity exceeds Mali imports. Through this project, M3

will ensure a better availability of products on the market. Consumers will be protected from

stockouts. M3 is committed to a quality policy through the establishment of the FSMS ISO

9001 standard. It will produce only products of assured quality. By focusing on such factors

as its wheat fields in the ON zone, these warehouses, park trailers and trucks and its

exemption from customs duties, M 3 will provide a more competitive price.

7. Impacts Mitigation and/or enhancement program

Soil: In order to reduce soil disturbance, the work will be limited to designated areas for infrastructure, handicrafts are privileged to work with machines and heavy equipment and prohibit the use of heavy machinery on wet soils. Specific areas will be defined for the cement mixture M3 will set up the unused areas in lawns. Contractors in charge of painting will cover the surfaces to be painted with plastic tarpaulin. M3 will build containment systems around hydrocarbon and lubricant handling areas.

10

M3 will implement intervention kits comprising absorbing hydrocarbon lubricants to allow intervention in case of resin accidental spillage. It will teach cleaning agents to discharge water containing detergents through M3 sewer facilities system. Landscape: In order to mitigate the project's impacts on the landscape, M3 will surround its facilities with alignment trees. It will use paint colors that fit the local landscape and will avoid bright colors. It will guide the light sources to the ground to make its facilities less visible overnight at long distance. Soundscape: Noisy work will be organized according to a schedule respecting the life of local residents. There will be none in the evening nor early in the morning. It will be used gear complying with the regulations regarding noise emissions and noise reducers will be installed on machines that exceed the accepted standards. Workers will have in EPI to protect against the effects of noise. The noise sources will be isolated to the extent possible. It will put in place a plan for noise monitoring. Air Quality: M3 will surround stocks of materials with a screen in order to prevent dust hazard or completely overwrite the stock allowing access for loading and unloading. It will water stocks outdoor and dusty areas, tarpaulin cover all trucks hauling loose materials. M3 and its subcontractors will use equipment in good condition to reduce air emissions. M3 will use fuels with a sulfur concentration no more than 1 to 3%. It will install vacuums flour particles inside facilities and ventilation in the cleaning and milling rooms. M3 will establish a monitoring program for air quality. Surface waters: M3 will connect the site pipe network to the septic tank and will direct all sewage to that tank. It will construct and identify points for needs that require the use of such water ablutions and cleaning and pulverize stagnant water points due to construction.

Groundwater: M3 will establish a system for recovery and use of rainwater for work during the construction and sanitation during the operation. It will develop a waste management. Employment, economy and local entrepreneurship: M3 will favor local residents and in recruitment. It will explore the local market as much as possible to satisfy its needs for goods and services. M3 will require contractors to combine the local workforce and include in its contracts a clause on the transfer of skills and technology to the local workforce. Health and Safety: M3 will create a position of HSE manager. He will erect signs indicating the behavior to follow. The labor code will be strictly adhered to avoid excessive fatigue, likely to be source of accidents. Net and harness will be implemented on workplaces in height. Information and awareness campaigns will be organized to inform workers and call for vigilance. Training on health and safety will be organized for the workers carrying out the work. Waste management will be delegated to a GIE for transport to the discharge of domestic waste. Companies will sensitize populations with regard to the health and industrial safety. Workers will be provided with personal protective equipment in (PPE) with binding port. Workers will be subject to regular medical visits.

9. Institutional arrangement for the ESMP implementation

The ESMP implementation will be at two levels: national and internal at M3. At the national level, the Inter-ministerial Committee for the ESIA Analysis will monitor and follow up the implementation of the ESIA and ESMP recommendations. The leader is the Ministry of Environment and Sanitation through DNACPN/DRACPN. In the M3 project’s express context, other actors will be involved depending on the sectors concerned. This is among other things: M3, DNPC, DRA, DCPD, DNS, Mayor of Sébougou, CCIM, microcredit organizations and NGOs. At the M3 level, we have the General Management, HSE officer and other departments who will be responsible for the ESMP implementation. The HSE officer will be the interface between the national level and M3 domestic level.
