Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the security crisis on the activities of milk processing units in the municipality of Banfora in Burkina Faso. Individual interviews were conducted with six promoters of milk processing units in the municipality. The results of these interviews revealed that 66.67% of processing units are run by adult men over the age of 40. The average number of years of experience of the promoters is 11.33±6.71 years. With an actual collection capacity averaging 550±372.83 liters of milk per day, the units currently receive an average volume of 81.67±18.35 liters of milk per day for processing. Between 2019 and 2023, the amount of milk collected annually by the Milk Processing Units (MPUs) declined significantly, from 320,019 to 209,623 liters, with an average of 351,360±99,297.40 liters of milk. The main processed products are mainly yogurt, fresh pasteurized milk, butter, cheese, cream, gapal, and dêguê, which are sold both within the region and outside it. The security crisis led to a mass exodus of herders and their herds, resulting in a considerable decrease in the amount of milk available on the market, a drop in turnover for these dairies, and the closure of the region's three milk collection centers. In terms of adaptation strategies, all processing units (100%) are using imported milk powder, while 50% of them have developed partnership initiatives to sell their products. Units should ensure their production; they should also promote themselves and fodder cultivation to intensify milk productivity.
