Burkina Faso/Food self-sufficiency: Action continues for an effective revolution in strategic sectors
The President of Faso and his government continue to intensify efforts to improve sectors that will help achieve food self-sufficiency for the benefit of the citizens of Burkina Faso. In addition to large-scale projects in the agropastoral and fisheries sectors, the country’s authorities are taking a step forward by reorganizing these sectors to improve productivity.
On Thursday, January 9, 2025, during a council of ministers meeting, a decree was adopted establishing a public economic institution named the Burkinabe Council of Agropastoral and Fisheries Sectors (CBF). This move reflects the government’s commitment to better organize these strategic sectors. These sectors are crucial not only to achieving the food self-sufficiency the government aims for but also to boosting the country’s economy.
According to the details provided, the Burkinabe Council of Agropastoral and Fisheries Sectors (CBF) will replace the Burkinabe Council of Cashew (CBA). Its mission will be to coordinate and support the sustainable development of agropastoral and fisheries sectors in Burkina Faso.
Through this initiative, President Ibrahim Traoré and his government express their determination to revitalize key sectors of the national economy, aiming for effective economic sovereignty in Burkina Faso. As a reminder, the head of state, supported by his team, is committed to creating the necessary conditions to ensure food security and prevent the country from depending on external sources for essential products.
