Matam is a region of Senegal (regional capitals have the same name as their respective regions).
It is a flat, arid region bounded on the north by the Sénégal River and the south by the Sahelian plain studded with baobab trees. Matam is populated by the Pulaar-speaking Toucouleur people. According to a 2015 economic report, half of Senegal's agricultural value is derived from the Matam region.
