Burkina Faso: President Ibrahim Traoré determined to revolutionize agriculture for food self-sufficiency

President Ibrahim Traoré has committed himself to transforming Burkinabe agriculture to ensure food self-sufficiency. This ambition is based on a policy of increased mechanization of farms, aimed at boosting productivity and modernizing cultivation methods. Several initiatives have been launched to enhance farmers’ capabilities through the provision of advanced agricultural equipment.

A few months ago, Captain Ibrahim Traoré delivered 400 tractors and various equipment to farmers, representing an investment of over 78 billion CFA francs. This significant gesture demonstrates his commitment to supporting stakeholders in the agricultural sector to reduce Burkina Faso’s dependence on food imports and promote sustainable, competitive agriculture.

In the coming weeks, a new batch of 500 tractors will be distributed to farmers, further solidifying the government’s strategy to achieve food self-sufficiency. These concrete actions reflect President Ibrahim Traoré’s dedication to equipping producers with modern tools to improve their yields and ensure the country’s food security.

Thanks to these efforts, Burkinabe agriculture is undergoing a significant transformation, with unprecedented state support enabling farmers to meet the challenges of climate and the global economy. President Ibrahim Traoré is positioning agriculture as a key lever for the economic and social development of Burkina Faso.
