Burkina Faso has imposed a continuing export ban on cereals and white beans to protect domestic food security. This ban was initially issued in December 2023 and reinforced in November 2024. Ghana imported a notable quantity of these commodities from Burkina Faso in 2023, highlighting the importance of compliance with the ban.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in Ghana has reiterated the ongoing ban by Burkina Faso on the export of certain grains and white beans. This prohibition, which took effect on December 19, 2023, includes the export of rice, millet, maize, sorghum, and cowpeas. Stakeholders are reminded to adhere to this restriction as it remains in place.

In conclusion, the ban on the export of cereals and white beans from Burkina Faso is still enforced as a measure to protect local food supplies. Importers and traders are urged to comply with this regulation, noting its significant implications for grain prices and availability in the region. Stakeholders should stay informed and adjust their operations accordingly to align with this directive.
