Burkina Faso / Food Self-Sufficiency in the land of upright people: A new horizon under the presidency of captain Ibrahim Traoré

Under the visionary leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso is on the path to achieving food self-sufficiency, an ambitious goal based on sustainable and endogenous development. Through a rigorous agro-pastoral offensive, the country is resolutely committed to reducing its dependence on food imports and enhancing its local resources.

One of the significant milestones of this offensive is the fish production project, which will reach a historic moment in the coming days with the extraction of more than 100.000 tons of fish in its first phase. This achievement not only demonstrates Burkina Faso’s capacity to exploit its aquatic resources but also the effectiveness of agricultural and fishing policies implemented under President Traoré’s leadership.

President Ibrahim Traoré has always advocated for a vision of food self-sufficiency based on the optimal use of national resources. This vision translates into massive investments in the agro-pastoral sector, aiming to modernize agricultural techniques, improve infrastructure, and encourage innovation. The fish production project is a striking example, illustrating how Burkina Faso can achieve food autonomy through the diversification of its agriculture.

Under previous regimes, Burkina Faso imported a large portion of its food products, leading to capital flight and making the country vulnerable to international market fluctuations. Today, thanks to President Traoré’s initiatives, Burkina Faso is transforming this paradigm. The upcoming extraction of 100.000 tons of fish is just the beginning. It marks a turning point towards a new era where every Burkinabè can benefit from the country’s wealth.

Burkina Faso, under the presidency of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, is firmly committed to the path of food self-sufficiency. The agro-pastoral offensive is in full swing, and the first results are already visible. With innovative projects like fish production, the country shows that anything is now possible. This dynamic of endogenous development opens new perspectives for Burkina Faso, strengthening its sovereignty and economic independence.
