Burkina Faso: Preserving the national lifeline that is cotton
Totally dependent on rain for the growing of seed cotton, and having only a single major export crop, Burkina Faso is highly vulnerable to external shocks. In 2009, the cotton industry was seriously affected by the early stages of the sub-prime crisis, low world cotton prices, and the impact of international oil prices on freight costs.
Overexpression of the cotton gene GhDGAT1 in cotton seeds increased its total oil content from 4.7% to 13.9% in different transgenic lines and different generations.

Before the cultivation of GM cotton, the majority of all cotton in Burkina Faso had an average fiber length of 28.58 mm. But after the introduction of GM cotton, much of the cotton had a fiber length of 26.98mm. Cotton companies say this difference of 1.6mm cost them 50 billion CFA (US$89.5 million) over five cropping seasons.
Bt cotton seed purity in Burkina Faso: status and lessons learnt
The organic sector plays a very minor role in the cotton sector of Burkina Faso (production of organic cotton totaled 453t in 2018/2019, out of national cotton production of 183 000t
Background Since the commercial release of Bt cotton in Burkina Faso in 2009, the issue of seed purity in producers’ fields has rarely been addressed in an unbiased and objective manner. The potential for contamination of conventional seed varieties with Bt traits and the consequent threat to the continuation of organic cotton production has been documented. However, studies are rare on the
Unlocking the hidden value of cotton by-products in African
Ginning seed cotton yields roughly 55% cottonseed and 40% lint. By crushing and processing cottonseed, an edible oil is obtained. Cottonseed oil is the most valuable cotton by-product in price-to-weight terms, hence it has the greatest commercial and income potential. Cottonseed oil represents approximately 5.2% of world edible oil production.
Burkina Faso, a West Africa’s country, primarily relies on agriculture to drive its economic growth. However, in the country, this sector has not been consistently developed to deal with climate risks and market failures. Even though the cotton sector in Burkina Faso is well structured in a value chain, producers achieve low factor productivity. Given the complexity of cotton production, its
The success story of Bt cotton in Burkina Faso : a role
Until 2016, the introduction of Bt cotton in Burkina Faso was generally regarded as a huge success [8,10, 11]. This perception was mainly based on the fast uptake and evaluations of the average
of the active labor force of Burkina Faso, supporting 1.5 million–2 million people. It is composed mostly of small farms and smallholders, with a small number of large farms led by rural elite. In 2005 Burkina Faso became the leading West African producer of cotton, ahead of Mali, producing 500,000 to 800,000 tons of seed cotton between
