Afrique-Burkina-Taiwan-Agriculture-Riziere

Une vendeuse de lait de vache passe, le 28 aout 2002, devant le plus vaste projet de riziere d Afrique de l ouest, pres du village de Hiena-Djonkele. Une dizaine d ingenieurs taiwanais transforment en effet depuis quelques semaines les bas-fonds insalubres et impraticables de ce village burkinabe en un perimetre rizicole qui doit devenir le plus vaste d Afrique de l ouest. Les travaux comprennent la construction de vannes de retention d eau, de digues, de canaux de drainage et de 23 kilometres de route, le tout representant un cout global de 22, 7 millions de dollars US finance par Taiwan. Situe a 400 km a l ouest de Ouagadougou, ce projet doit occuper 1.800 hectares qui permettront a terme la production de 8.000 tonnes de riz. AFP PHOTO ISSOUF SANOGO / AFP PHOTO / ISSOUF SANOGO

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on August 28,2002, we witness a significant transformation taking place in the village of Hiena-Djonkele in Burkina Faso. A milk vendor passes by the largest rice project in West Africa, where a team of ten Taiwanese engineers have been working tirelessly to convert the unsanitary and impassable lowlands into a vast rice-growing area. This ambitious endeavor aims to create the largest rice field in West Africa and is being financed with a total cost of $22.7 million by Taiwan. The extensive construction work includes building water retention gates, embankments, drainage canals, and even 23 kilometers of roads. Situated 400 kilometers west of Ouagadougou, this project will eventually occupy an impressive 1,800 hectares and yield a production capacity of 8,000 tons of rice. The photograph also captures the essence of local culture as it features a woman dressed in traditional attire against the backdrop of lush green fields. The image beautifully portrays how agriculture intertwines with tradition and showcases the harmonious coexistence between modern engineering techniques brought by Taiwan's expertise and Burkina Faso's rich cultural heritage. This powerful visual encapsulates hope for economic growth and food security for both Burkina Faso and West Africa as they strive towards self-sufficiency in rice production. It serves as a testament to international collaboration bridging continents to uplift communities through sustainable agricultural practices.
