Burkina Faso Targets 6,000 Tonnes of Wheat by 2025–2026, Dependent on Fertilizer Supply, Official Says
Despite global disruptions caused by sanctions on Russian fertilizers, Burkina Faso has moved proactively to secure supplies, Malick Niang, board member of the West African Fertilizer Association, noted.
"We are seeing much larger flows through the ports, whether in Abidjan or Lomé. There is an increase in the use of agricultural inputs," he told Sputnik Africa.
Rising crop yields could help the country cut its reliance on imports, according to the speaker.
"It is important for landlocked countries like Burkina Faso to secure a minimum level of local production—maybe 50% to 60% of local cereal consumption," the official explained.
