• The ASM royalty is largely not reaching the Treasury on time: on SONASP's 2024 ASM purchases of 7,139,025 g the FCFA 100/g royalty would be about FCFA 714 million, but the Treasury (DGTCP) recorded FCFA 3.4 million for 2024 and SONASP declared FCFA 9.5 million; FCFA 669.96 million was paid over in 2025. No payment of the ad valorem royalty by semi-mechanised producers was found.
