Burkina Fao: The Yako factory, the fruit of Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s determination
After the successful launch of the tomato processing plant in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso reaches a new milestone in its ambition for economic self-sufficiency and the valorization of its local resources.
On December 16, 2024, the city of Yako will host the inauguration of its brand-new tomato processing plant, a major project that perfectly reflects the enlightened vision and determination of Captain Ibrahim Traoré to build a strong and sovereign Burkina Faso.
This factory, which will be a true driver of development for the region, will generate over 1,000 direct jobs and 1,500 indirect jobs, transforming lives and providing sustainable economic opportunities for thousands of families. Through this initiative, Yako will not only become a strategic hub for agro-industry but also a symbol of the country’s industrial renaissance.
Captain Ibrahim Traoré, with his bold approach focused on endogenous development, continues to chart an inspiring path for the entire Burkinabe people. The President of the Burkinabe Revolution once again proves that he is a tireless advocate of economic sovereignty and a defender of the people’s aspirations.
Under his leadership, Burkina Faso demonstrates unwavering determination to process its raw materials locally, thus reducing dependence on imports and creating added value within its own borders.
