The INSD reports a 34.4% rise in industrial turnover in Burkina Faso in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven mainly by extractive industries. The recovery remains uneven, with manufacturing still down year on year.
Joseph Ramdé says industrialization in Burkina Faso is still held back by access to energy, the lack of developed industrial zones, heavy bureaucracy and insufficient technical skills. He recommends regional industrial zones, decentralized procedures and stronger training.
In Bobo-Dioulasso, Twellium Industries donated 20 tonnes of cement, 40 tonnes of granite sand, water and drinks to the Faso Mêbo agency in the Guiriko region. Company employees also took part in the site work.
