In Gaoua, in the South-West of Burkina Faso, Nahondomo PALENFO cultivates dozens of hectares of various crops. This year, he has also ventured into the transformation of rice and has put in place the very first mini rice mill of the region.
This industrial unit has given hope to rice producers, who now have buyers for their harvests.
