Sahel Zone Livestock & Fodder Needs — Élevage et besoins en fourrage dans la zone sahélienne
Burkina Faso sits at the heart of the Sahel zone, where livestock corridors connect pastoral communities across West Africa. The country's cattle population exceeds 9 million head, with significant herds of goats and sheep supporting livelihoods across rural communities. Traditional grazing lands face increasing pressure from desertification and climate variability, making cultivated fodder crops like alfalfa essential for sustaining animal productivity. Alfalfa's deep root system and drought tolerance make it particularly suited for irrigated production in the Sahel, providing year-round high-protein feed.
Ouagadougou & Agricultural Development — Ouagadougou et le développement agricole
Ouagadougou serves as the commercial and agricultural hub of Burkina Faso, with modern irrigation projects expanding around the capital and along the Volta river basins. Government programs promoting intensive livestock production and dairy development create growing demand for imported fodder seeds. Kohenoor's non-dormant varieties (FD 9-10) thrive in Burkina Faso's hot climate, delivering 6-8 cuts per year under irrigation with crude protein levels exceeding 18%. Our seeds support smallholder dairy initiatives and commercial feedlot operations throughout the country.
