Ndiaye is a village in Northern Senegal, roughly halfway between Saint Louis/Ndar and Ross Bethio. The village has a population of about five hundred people. The population mostly works in rice paddies or at a nearby tomato paste factory. The rice fields and canal system are created and maintained by the government of Senegal via the government department CIFA. The villagers are allowed to use the land for free on the agreement that all the rice will be sold to the government at a price agreed upon right before harvest each season. In the summer of 2008, the price was agreed upon at a conference held in Ndiaye. The price was comparable to the world market price at the same time. The villagers do have to buy seed and pay the union in control of the water pump that feeds water from the Lampsaw River.
