Burkina Faso is quietly transforming its economy by moving away from raw agricultural exports and investing in processed agricultural products.
This video explores how local processing, food security, and international fairs are reshaping value creation in Burkina Faso.
From farmers and women-led processing units to regional trade across West Africa, this shift is redefining economic independence.
For decades, Burkina Faso exported much of its agricultural production in raw form, leaving value creation to foreign industries. Today, that model is changing. Through local processing, agroindustrial transformation, and a renewed focus on food security, communities are reclaiming control over their harvests and their future.
Inside international fairs held in cities like Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, processed agricultural products such as dried mango, powdered ginger, tomato paste, natural oils, and spice blends are gaining attention from buyers across West Africa and beyond. These fairs have become strategic platforms where farmers, cooperatives, women, and young entrepreneurs connect directly with regional markets in Mali, Ghana, Senegal, Togo, and Chad.
This is more than an economic story. It is about dignity, resilience, and self-reliance. By processing crops locally and strengthening regional trade, Burkina Faso is reducing dependence on raw exports, creating jobs, and building a more stable foundation for long-term development.
