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. The farmers in this area receive free plowing services, subsidies for agricultural inputs, and technical support, which have contributed to the positive outcomes.

Despite facing an unpredictable rainy season, Dabiré expressed satisfaction with the results, praising the farmers' dedication. The commitment of the local community and the significance of technical support in enhancing agricultural production were emphasized by Tasséré Badini, the PDS of Zambo.

Developing lowland rice-growing areas is part of a broader strategy to boost cereal production and strengthen food security in the Ioba province.
