Abstract
The Alliance for a Green Revolution (AGRA) is an organisation that is at the forefront of agricultural intervention programs in Burkina Faso as well as in other sub-Saharan African countries, including Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali and Mozambique. Data for the first three countries is available from the ISSER ACEIR Data Hub.
AGRA objectives are to increase farmer productivity through access to quality inputs, reduce post-harvest losses through access to post-harvest storage technologies and support farmers through an enabling policy environment. The Institute of Statistical Social and Economic Research (ISSER) conducted a baseline survey of farmer households in five regions in Burkina Faso. Farmer households in Boucle de Mouhoun, Cascades, Centre-Est, Centre-Ouest and Hauts-Bassins were sampled to create baseline data of farming practices, yields, post-harvest loss and other features of the value chain in the cultivation of four major crop, namely maize, rice, sorghum and cowpea. The data seeks to help identify some key challenges to the production of these crops in the five regions, and support the development and subsequent evaluation of AGRA interventions over the five-year period.
