Burkina Faso Builds Food Sovereignty From Maize Exports to Full Industrial Transformation

For decades, African countries exported raw crops and imported finished food products. That cycle is now being broken in Burkina Faso.

In this in-depth Voice of Africa report, we explore how Burkina Faso is transforming maize from a simple export crop into a full industrial value chain that connects farmers, factories, families, and regional markets. From maize semolina for breweries to infant flours produced locally, this transformation is reshaping food security, job creation, and economic independence.

This video breaks down:

Why Burkina Faso moved from maize exports to local processing

How industrialization strengthens food sovereignty

The role of private investment in African development

What this model means for farmers, families, and regional trade

Why this story matters for Africa’s future

This is not theory. This is real transformation happening on the ground.
