As he presided over the inauguration of a newly completed industrial complex called ADIPROD industries, that's built on an area of 10 hectares in an industrial zone of Bobo-Dioulasso city on the Monday of April 29th 2024, and which specializes in the production and marketing of edible oils and derivatives, the Burkinabé President Captain Ibrahim Traore expressed his confidence that Burkina Faso is slowly transitioning from an importer of essential commodities, to an exporter.

The youthful leader, whose administration has launched various manufacturing support programs that are aimed at supporting foreign investors who are seeking to establish value addition plants to easily do so, as well as motivate locals to venture into manufacturing, by offering, under schemes like APEC, to finance 50% of the cost of a processing unit, if the locals have raised the other 50%, said that the country is on a steady path towards industrialization, and that his government will continue supporting value addition investments.

That, his vision is to see everything produced in Burkina Faso to be processed in Bukinafaso, so as to give more added value to local products, and create jobs to Burkina youth, and ultimately bring about the economic transformation that's dearly needed, and before we proceed.
