Ibrahim Traore Goes Tough On Importers In Burkina Faso

I am not an economist by training but from the function that we occupy we are obliged to learn the economy and I know that the economy will only be better off when we produce locally and when we stop importing. I would therefore like to invite here the employers who have registered in your agenda the strategic plan and our vision which is therefore endogenous development. The concept of production because we import a lot. We hope that from January we will find the necessary formulas so that the importers in the country are converted to become producers so that they can contribute to the project productively on site. So what matters is the rice that it is preparing to invest in the production of rice. For the big importers, the importers of rice, you know we import too much in Africa. We import too much which means that our wealth is found every time outside while we have land where we can produce.
