Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, production of beef, sheep, and goat fat in Burkina Faso rose sharply by 22.9% to 5 190 t. This growth was driven by sustained government policies, in place since 2010, which improved the availability and affordability of livestock feed, helping producers overcome high costs and animal health constraints.

Output declined by 4.0% to 4 984 t in 2020 as stricter environmental and animal welfare regulations increased compliance burdens, compounded by ongoing difficult climatic conditions that strained forage supplies. The market recovered in 2021, expanding 1.8% to 5 072 t, supported by the development of the small ruminant value chain which enhanced processing and marketing of products like merguez and sausages.

Steady growth continued, reaching 5 253 t by 2023, underpinned by maintained public support measures for the livestock sector and the adoption of digital tools that improved traceability and market efficiency.
