Traoré’s Sahel Gamble: Thousands of Hectares of Melons by Mid-2026—Breakthrough or Trap? isn’t just an agriculture story—it’s a full systems test of water access, drip irrigation, cold storage, transport security, and fair market rules. In this episode of Burkina Dispatch, we break down what would really have to happen for Burkina Faso to scale thousands of hectares of melons along the Sahel’s edge—and what could cause the entire project to collapse in a single harvest week.

You’ll learn:

Why melons don’t fail in the soil—they fail on the clock (post-harvest handling, packing, and cold chain)

How water governance can become water politics if pumping time and access aren’t transparent

The “hidden gatekeepers” who can control profit through contracts, grading standards, trucks, and cooling hubs

The early warning signals to watch months before mid-2026: posted grading rules, reference prices, multiple buyers, and open-access collection points

If you care about Burkina Faso, the Sahel, Ibrahim Traoré, food security, rural jobs, and economic sovereignty, this is the scenario that explains why infrastructure and rules matter more than hype.
