Résumé : Mauritania is a country of traditional cattle farming. The production of the milk was intended for the self consumption of farmers and for giving free to non producers. From the end of the eighties, there was a settlement of two modem factories for the production of milk products: "Laiterie de Mauritanie" in 1989 and "Toplait" in 1994. The marketing of dairy products began with pasteurized camel milk due to a significant concentration of herds of camels around the city of Nouakchott and the growing demand for quality products. The milk of camel is appreciated due to its low fat content compared to that of cows, goats, ewes. This led to the decrease of imported milk products from 14 000 tons in 1992 to 7 000 tons in 2000. This oral presentation will assess the consumption of dromedary dairy products in the city of Nouakchott. The data were get from the factories, networks vendors (farmers), retailers (shopkeepers), supplemented by consumers bibliographic data. The results show that despite the development of the supply chain of urban market in the city of Nouakchott in recent years, the consumption of camel milk is decreasing due to the lack of fodder and the high cost of animal feeding on a global scale.
