« Cassava was originally produced in Banfora. When we first started using this cassava, we kept running into problems—it was almost like we didn’t know how to process it. We didn’t realize that the issue was related to the variety itself. With support from research services, we discovered a variety better suited to attiéké processing and to Burkina's climate. 2SCALE then helped to spread this variety among producers and connected us with farmers using the V5 variety. This has enabled an increase in both the quantity and quality of production, » shared Mme Nana/Zoumbara Sabine, promoter of NanAlim.

Lorsque nous avons commencé à utiliser ce manioc, nous avons toujours rencontré des problèmes. C'était comme si nous ne savions pas comment le transformer. Nous ne savions pas que c'était un problème lié à la variété. Avec l'appui des services de recherche, il existe une variété adaptée à la transformation de l'attiéké et aux conditions climatiques du Burkina. 2SCALE a donc aidé à diffuser cette variété auprès des producteurs et nous a mis en relation avec des producteurs qui utilisent la variété V5. Cela a permis d'augmenter la production en quantité et en qualité » - Mme Nana/Zoumbara Sabine, promotrice de NanAlim.
