About the partnership

Burkina Faso
Fresh Produce
Status:
Active

BioProtect is a Burkinabe company that wants to lead in the transition to more organic production of vegetables. The ambition of the company, in its partnership with 2SCALE, is to consolidate the fresh vegetable sector (with the tomato and onion value chains as a priority) in general and particularly the organic and ecological vegetable sub-sector in Burkina Faso: i) by finding solutions to scarcity of certain vegetables at certain times on the market, ii) by diversifying products for a more varied and healthy diet for all households. In doing so, BioProtect wants to strengthen food and nutritional security in Burkina Faso through the sale of at least 5,000 tonnes of fresh or semi-processed vegetables by 2023, by increasing the production of organic and ecological vegetables from 220 tonnes / year to 5,000 tonnes by developing its production network. To achieve this, BioProtect wants to expand its distribution network in the markets of the main cities of Burkina Faso, involving 10.000 smahollder farmers and reaching 15.000 BoP consumers.
