Processing in Burkina Faso

Savanna crops behind Burkina Faso's processing interest

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country of mainly flat savanna in the Sahelian zone. Its climate is hot, with one main rainy season, and the north is drier than the south. Shea nuts are collected by hand by women, who are organised in village groups in some areas, and the nuts are then cleaned, sorted, dried and pressed into butter. Sesame is one of the sectors targeted for trade support, and cleaning and pressing the seed for oil is a common processing step.

Mango is also a sector targeted for trade support, and dried mango is a known product, so drying equipment and pulping lines both have a place. Hibiscus (roselle) is a traditional crop and a staple in local diets, moringa is part of the agricultural sector and is sold in local and regional markets, and rice is the main crop of the large irrigation schemes, where parboiling and drying improve grain handling.

Because the country has no coastline, goods travel overland through neighbouring countries to reach the sea. Typical users of the plants discussed here are shea and sesame processors, dried-fruit businesses, botanical ingredient makers, rice mills and women's or farmers' groups. The dry months outside the rainy season make solar-assisted drying worth discussing.

Products Relevant to Burkina Faso

12 of the 73 products in the catalogue are listed for Burkina Faso, in 7 categories: Herbal, Botanical & Nutraceutical Extraction (2), Fruit & Vegetable Processing (1), Drying & Dehydration Systems (4), Cocoa, Shea, Palm Oil & Oilseed Processing (2), Cereals, Tubers & Sugar Processing (1), Specialty African Botanical & Natural Ingredients (1), Specialty Food, Beverage & By-Product Processing (1). The plants for Burkina Faso’s own raw materials come first. A listing is a catalogue listing, not a statement of demand or supply; the final configuration depends on your raw material, target product and capacity.

Shea nuts

Shea nuts gathered by hand are cleaned, sorted, dried and pressed into butter, and shea butter extraction and refining equipment is relevant to processors who want more consistent butter quality.

Sesame seed

Sesame seed is cleaned, conditioned and pressed to make oil, and sesame oil processing equipment is worth discussing for processors who want to produce oil locally rather than sell only raw seed.

Mango

Mango can be pulped or dried, and mango juice and pulp equipment together with drying systems is relevant to processors who want to keep fruit that fresh markets cannot absorb.

Also relevant, shown above: Solar-Assisted Drying Systems.

Hibiscus

Hibiscus is a traditional crop in Burkina Faso, valued for household income and local diets, and extraction and concentration offer a route to more stable beverage bases or natural ingredient extracts.

Moringa leaf

Moringa leaves are dried and ground into powder for food and wellbeing use, and low-temperature drying and extraction help preserve the characteristics buyers look for.

Also relevant, shown above: Spice & Herbal Drying Plants.

Rice

Paddy from the large irrigation schemes is parboiled by steaming and then dried, and parboiling and drying equipment is relevant to mills that want a more uniform product than open-air drying alone.

Planning a project in Burkina Faso

What to Settle Before You Ask for a Proposal

  • Landlocked freight planning

    Imported equipment reaches Burkina Faso overland through neighbouring countries, so transit documentation, road transport time and vessel dimensions deserve early attention when scheduling a project.

  • Drying and the rainy season

    Solar-assisted drying is a logical option for mango, herbs and shea kernels in the dry months, though output drops in the rainy season, so a backup heat source helps maintain steady operation.

  • Group-based supply

    Shea nuts are gathered by village groups of women, so plants should be sized around what a group can collect and store, with simple operation and maintenance in mind.

  • Herbal & Botanical Extraction Solutions

    Hibiscus and moringa are botanicals grown and used in Burkina Faso, so extraction plants suit makers of beverage bases, natural extracts and herbal ingredients.

FAQ

Questions About Plants for Burkina Faso

Which plants suit shea butter processing in Burkina Faso?

Shea butter processing usually involves kernel drying, crushing, roasting or conditioning, pressing and refining. Shea butter extraction and refining equipment is relevant to these steps, and a solar-assisted dryer may reduce fuel use. Send your nut supply and butter grade; scope is confirmed in the technical proposal.

Can sesame seed be pressed into oil in Burkina Faso?

Sesame seed is cleaned, conditioned, pressed and filtered to make oil, and sesame oil processing plants are relevant to these steps. Choices such as hot or cold pressing depend on the oil style you want. Share your seed volumes and the oil type so the proposal reflects your product.

How are dried mango and mango pulp lines different?

Dried mango uses peeling, slicing and controlled drying, while pulp processing uses destoning, pulping, heat treatment and filling. Many processors do both to use different fruit grades. State your fruit volumes and preferred products when asking for a proposal.

Does Kadali Africa Ventures have an office in Burkina Faso?

Kadali Africa Ventures Limited has offices in Accra, Ghana and Kano, Nigeria, and none in Burkina Faso. Engineering and manufacturing scope for each product is confirmed in the technical proposal.
