Zambo:The developed rice-growing lowland of Tampla V1, located in the commune of Zambo, is projected to produce more than 40 tons of rice by the end of the 2026 agricultural campaign. This expectation is due to the concerted efforts of local producers and substantial support from the State, according to Sié Lebade Léandre Dabiré, the provincial director of agriculture, water, animal, and fisheries resources of Ioba.

According to Burkina Information Agency, Sié Lebade Léandre Dabiré made this announcement on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, during a visit to the 21-hectare rice-growing area. He was accompanied by Tasséré Badini, the President of the Special Delegation (PDS) of Zambo.
