This achievement reflects the determination of the Burkinabe authorities to meet the basic needs of their population.
This success is the result of a combination of innovative and inclusive measures, including the promotion of modern agricultural practices, improved access to inputs for farmers, and the establishment of enhanced technical support. These initiatives, backed by visionary leadership, have enabled optimized yields, even under challenging conditions.
Under President Ibrahim Traoré’s leadership, Burkina Faso shows that even in times of crisis, an ambitious food policy can turn challenges into opportunities. This remarkable increase in cereal production is further proof that the country is steadily moving toward sustainable self-sufficiency, setting an inspiring example for other nations.
