“The purpose of this strategy is to trigger the interest of Burkinabes in the field of agriculture, to become fully involved in this sector as they have been in the transport sector, in other means of trade/commerce, etc. Since agricultural products are not converted in our country, as long as there are no finished products based on agricultural products, we cannot grow! So this is why we should develop strategies for people who want to help boost agriculture in the future; people who are willing to invest in this sector to make our agricultural products finished products and can thus compete worldwide.” > watch the video
