Three hundred Belgian partners for agricultural and agro-industrial development

Abstract

A diet sheet for Burundi is not enough to get a true image of the food situation. Some corrections have to be brought into the picture to take into account the geographic scattering of agricultural productions and the differences in access facilities to the food markets. Previsions and recommandations on food situation requires a good appreciation of the physical and institutional constraints which are weighing on agriculture. Only then it could be eventually possible to define an agricultural policy which has to be founded on regional specialization and on development of rural activities outside the agricultural sector.
