Ouagadougou: Despite the national context and unpredictable rainfall, the 2025-2026 agricultural season in the commune of Djibo is distinguished by notable progress. A joint monitoring mission, led this week by the Sahel Regional Director of Agriculture, Mr. Abidiasse Y©, and the Soum Provincial Director of Agriculture, Mr. T©r©di© Sanou, revealed encouraging momentum on the ground.
According to Burkina Information Agency, results recorded to date show that 20 hectares of corn, 52 hectares of rice, 55 hectares of cowpeas, and 20 hectares of peanuts have been planted in the commune. These figures reflect the unwavering commitment of the local population to facing adversity by cultivating the land with hope and determination.
Agricultural technicians deployed in the field note that the crops are in satisfactory phytosanitary condition, driven by relatively well-distributed rains since the start of the winter and local supervision provided by the decentralized technical services of the Ministry of Agriculture.
During the visit, the mission leaders were able to see firsthand the efforts made by producers, men and women, young and old, united around a common goal: to feed the province and ensure food security for their families.
"The mobilization of the people of Djibo is admirable. Despite the difficulties, they remain strong and committed to feeding their children and contributing to the local economy," said Mr. Abidiasse Y© at the end of the field mission.
This community surge, in an area often described as one of the most vulnerable in the country, constitutes a strong signal that agriculture can remain a lever of resilience and development, provided it is supported consistently.
The 2025-2026 agricultural campaign in Djibo thus carries the seeds of a better future and reminds us that, even in difficult lands, hope can always flourish when people are supported and listened to.
