Increasing cotton yields in Burkina Faso, Global Agriculture and Food Security Program
Results. Once completed, this project is expected to improve farmer yield by up to 30% and to increase the area of farmland with improved water management across Burkina Faso by 3,000 hectors, and support US$5.3 million in lending for irrigation investments by smallholder cotton farmers.
Alongside this critical situation, biofuel projects are booming in Burkina Faso (70,000 ha of Jatropha curcas plantations claimed in 2009), but there is not yet a formally established market for the resulting products (seeds, seedcake, and biofuels).
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.
The Cotton Roadmap Project, developed by the C4 in cooperation with ITC, seeks to address these issues through optimizing production, improving local processing capacity and developing regional cotton-to-textile value chains. The objectives of the project reach well beyond the C4 region, also encompassing the Western and Central African sub-region.
Bt Cotton in Burkina Faso Demonstrates That Political Will Is Key for Biotechnology to Benefit Commercial Agriculture in Africa, Springer
Grown for its fiber and the oil extracted from the seed, cotton is the main export crop in many West African countries. ... With a production of 730,000 t of seed cotton in 2005, Burkina Faso is now the first cotton producer in Africa, and the development of this

Abstract. It is strongly believed that the wide genetic variability within the cotton ( Gossypium spp.,) increases their chance for adaptation to changing harmful environments, and thus upsurge the likelihood of long-term survival of such unusual and important cash crop in the world. Given, the importance of cotton in the world economy and its

However, local knowledge of oil trees is relatively limited in the Fulani, Gouin, Sénoufo and Tiéfo ethnic groups of Burkina Faso; only 16 species out of 28 oil species listed were frequently cited and only ive species received high citations frequencies (≥ 5%).
