Burkina Faso : Large-scale plantain production thanks to Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s agricultural initiative
Thanks to the ingenuity of farmers and the vision of the Transitional President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, plantain banana production is now being carried out on a large scale in Burkina Faso. This initiative is part of an agricultural offensive aimed at promoting food self-sufficiency in the country.
Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Head of State, recently highlighted the fertility of Burkinabe lands by stating, « Everything grows in Burkina Faso ». This statement reflects the agricultural richness of the country and its untapped potential. Thus, the Burkinabe government, under the leadership of the Transitional President, has implemented measures to encourage large-scale agricultural production, including plantain bananas.
Plantain bananas are a crop that adapts well to the climate and soil of Burkina Faso. Thanks to the commitment of farmers and government support, this crop is now being developed on a large scale. The benefits of plantain bananas are manifold : they are a source of energy-rich food, can be consumed in various ways, and also represent an economic opportunity for local producers.
The Transitional President, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, emphasized the importance of substantial investment in agriculture to achieve food self-sufficiency. This strategic vision aims to reduce dependence on food imports and promote a prosperous and sustainable agricultural economy.
By encouraging large-scale production of plantain bananas, Burkina Faso seeks to ensure food security for its population while creating economic opportunities for farmers. This initiative is part of a comprehensive agricultural development strategy aimed at fully exploiting the agricultural potential of the country.
