布基纳法索农民乌马鲁·孔帕奥雷自2018年起在撒哈尔地区种植菠萝，打破了该地区长期以来仅限于棉花、玉米和高粱生产的传统格局1。他的菠萝种植项目已扩展至约50公顷，而到11月时，整个行政区的菠萝种植面积已扩大至约100公顷1。这一创新举措已激励超过100名农民参与菠萝生产1。
布基纳法索军政府已将菠萝列入正式发展计划，作为实现粮食自给自足的重要举措1。新开垦地块预期将产出60至75吨菠萝，预计收入约3500万西非法郎（约62000美元）1。菠萝种植虽然生长周期长达两年，需要可靠的灌溉和水源，但这一替代性农作物的推广反映了该国应对粮食安全挑战的努力1。布基纳法索政府已在2024年启用两家番茄酱工厂，并于4月暂停了大米进口，进一步推进本土农业发展1。
A Burkina Faso farmer has successfully challenged conventional agricultural practices by cultivating pineapples in the Sahel, a semi-arid zone traditionally limited to cotton, corn, and sorghum production.1 Umaru Kompaoré launched his pineapple project in 2018, expanding it to approximately 50 hectares (124 acres).1 The initiative has since grown substantially, with pineapple cultivation reaching about 100 hectares (248 acres) across the administrative region as of November, and inspiring more than 100 farmers to adopt the crop.1
The Burkina Faso military government has formally incorporated pineapple production into its national development strategy as part of efforts to achieve food self-sufficiency.1 Newly cultivated plots are projected to yield between 60 and 75 tons of pineapples, generating approximately 3.5 million West African francs (about $62,000) in revenue.1 The government has complemented this agricultural diversification with other initiatives, including the opening of two tomato paste factories in 2024 and the suspension of rice imports in April.1 Despite these efforts, a United Nations agency reported that 2.6 million people faced acute food insecurity during the agricultural lean season.1 Pineapple cultivation demands a two-year growth cycle and reliable irrigation systems, making water access a critical factor for sustained production in the region.1
