Structuring Projects presentation

Agri-business Incubator: It is an incubator center for agricultural trades for the integration of women and young people in agribusiness.

The main objective of this incubator center is to create and model innovative agricultural trades that are compatible with the challenges of intelligent agriculture and meet the needs of urban and rural centers for a sustainable supply of raw and processed food products.

This incubation center aims to bring to market each year a cohort of 25 agribusiness entrepreneurs armed with the capacity and skills to meet the challenges of societies in food production, processing and distribution.

To do this, the Agri-Business Incubator recruits young people, whether they are in or out of school, and provides them with tailor-made and certifying training to prepare them to enter agricultural entrepreneurship. The training provides them with the necessary skills and abilities to become entrepreneurs. They also receive practical training where they experiment with efficient and economically profitable techniques, farm management based on a real knowledge of the sector and the market́. As such, the Agribusiness entrepreneurs are oriented on high value-added and competitive sectors on the national and regional markets.

This center is located 110 km from Ouagadougou in the Sanguié and will eventually occupy an area of 4.5 Ha.

The “Dynamic Agro” distribution center is a private initiative of agricultural entrepreneurs from the Agribusiness incubator, producers from the intervention territories and private investors. Its main function is to coordinate the market access of the agricultural products of the supported actors on profitable markets. To this end, Dynamic Agro acts as a kind of champion, bringing together territorial clusters specialized in specific sectors and acting to organise the production and distribution of products in accordance with the needs of national and regional markets. Dynamic Agro as a private company promotes contract farming while facilitating the dissemination of appropriate technologies for efficient agricultural services.

The aim of this Job and Agribusiness Fair is to build a showcase of profitable markets for agricultural clusters and agricultural trades as they move towards sustainability in response to the various challenges they face.

Held every year in the first quarter of the year in the Central West region, the show is an opportunity for players to reflect on the major challenges facing agriculture, the agri-food industry and the innovations made by companies in sustainable development and the local economy.
