Cacao and Coffee Prices Slashed in Burkina Faso, Thanks to CAPI.
In a groundbreaking move, the prices of cacao and coffee have decreased significantly in Burkina Faso, courtesy of CAPI’s (Cotton and Provisions Input) intervention. This development has brought cheer to local producers and consumers, transforming the West African nation’s agricultural landscape.
A Boost to the Local Economy:
The reduction in prices is expected to:
– Increase sales and revenue for over 200,000 local farmers
– Enhance competitiveness in the global market, with exports projected to rise by 15%
– Stimulate economic growth in the region, with GDP expected to increase by 5%

The price drop will have a positive impact on:
