Lhe month of consuming local, October, is coming to an end. Established by the Conference of Heads of State of the Union, this initiative aims to anchor the reflex of citizen purchasing in the behavior of the community’s citizens. A way of supporting farmers and local product processing units, with the result being an economy that becomes more independent and less dependent on external constraints. Burkina Faso is ahead in political commitment to the promotion of local products: from Faso Danfani to rice from Bagré and Sourou, honey from Gourma, including bicycle chicken, labels are flourishing to provide added value. economic value to actors in the value chain. If small producers and artisans find themselves in this dynamic process, this is not yet the case for certain industrial producers in the country who are struggling to satisfy demand. Two examples: Sosuco which the State wants to bring back into its fold and SN Citec. They produce good quality sugar and oil respectively, but insufficiently. And this has been going on for years, as if we wanted to confine the two largest employers in the Western region to a permanent minimum service. So who benefits from this deal, when we know that it is not a question of raw materials?
