(ASF) in Burkina Faso
• The average consumption of meat is 12
kg/person/year with 45–50% from beef (FAO,
2018)
• Per capita consumption of poultry meat is
approximately 8kg per year (CAPES, 2007)
• Poultry meat (all systems included) contributes
16.47% of the meat consumed in Burkina Faso
(CAPES, 2007)

Expensive Easy +++ Safer
Fish Good Cheaper Very easy +++ Safer
Beef Good Expensive Difficult ++ Slightly safe
Sheep/goat

Pork Good Expensive Difficult + Less safe
+++: High; ++: Medium; +: Low
The most accessible ASF by all is fish (fresh for HIHs and MHIs; dry for LIHs)
LIHs consume more fish than MIHs and HIHs (more beef and muton)
Less accessible is pork (expensive)
12. Chicken consumption practices by household
category
• High- and medium-income households
• Home consumption of chicken is mostly weekly for
women and children; and quarterly for men
• Off-home consumption of chicken is almost daily for men
and occasionally for women and children
• Low-income households
• Consumption of chicken is occasional and is mainly
offered during religious festivals and ceremonies
• Off-home consumption for chicken is occasional but more
frequent for men during lunch at workplace (but not the
full chicken)
13. Chicken consumption practices (home
processing)
• 30% of chicken meals eaten at home are
cooked with vegetables (especially tomatoes
and onions)
• Common dished
• “tô” (highly consumed in LHIs)
• Chicken soup
• Rice with tomato and chicken sauce
• Rice or spaghetti with Bolognese sauce,
• Braised fish
• Fatty rice with smoked fish
“tô”, most common dish in
Burkina Faso
Mais flower + water
Soup: okra, oignon, oil, chili, slat,
soumbala

15. Chicken consumption practices (Street-
restaurant)
• 90% of chicken is
consumed outside the
household mostly in
street restaurants called
“maquis”
• 30% of eaten chicken in
street-restaurants is
with raw vegetables
(onions or tomatoes)
16. Chicken consumption practices (Street restaurant)
Grilled or braised chicken
Good taste
Plucked in hot water
Perceived as less
nutritious
Perceived as relatively
safe (less risky)
17. Chicken consumption practices (Street restaurant)
Flamed chicken
Traditionally local breeds only
Plucked dry
Perceived as very nutritious
Perceived as less safe (higher
risk)
18. Chicken consumption practices (Street restaurant)
“Poulet télévisé” –
roasted chicken 20%
More of mixed or
exotic breeds
Uses gas for cooking
and electric power for
displaying
Perceived as safer (less
handling)
19. Chicken consumption practices (Street restaurant)
Fried chicken
Perceived as less
nutritious (oil associated
with disease)
Perceived as safer (high
temperature during
cooking)
20. Chicken consumption practices (Street-
restaurant cooking processes)

27. Perception of consumers about quality and
safety of chicken
• Local chicken and fish perceived as safest (little or no
vet inputs); pork is less safe (fat)
• At purchase good quality chicken is assessed by: weight
(good shape, heavy), the apparently healthy (alerted,
lively), the price (affordable) and age (younger chicken
preferred)
• Cooking chicken at high temperature is important but
such food is perceived as less nutritious
• Consumption of dead animals of unknown cause is
associated with poverty
28. Perception of consumers about quality and
safety of chicken
• For chicken processed outside the home (e.g.
grilled chicken), cleanliness of the carcass,
seasoning and serving are levels of high
contamination of food because of poor hygiene
• Women likely to detect unsafe food at home
• Exposure to unsafe food is perceived as higher in men
and young women - street food consumption
29. Perception of other VC actors about quality
and safety of chicken
• Retailers/processors
• Cleanliness of chicken cages chickens at the
market
• Transportation practices from the farm to the
terminal market (animal welfare)
• Proper cooking of chicken is important
• Age of the chicken (young chicken preferred)
• Producers
• Use of inputs (withdrawal periods for drugs)

31. Summary: risky practices identified in the chicken value
chain
• The lack of quality control, especially on products sold
• Administration of inappropriate drugs for immediate sale of
birds (e.g. Tramadoles – an opoid); use of chemicals during
plucking (carbure – acetylene based)
• Lack of space for storing and selling live chickens
• Unsanitary conditions at slaughter slabs (slaughtering, plucking
and evisceration) – no separation between clean and dirty
areas; no space for waste management (e.g. droppings)
• Poor handling carcasses before cooking (dirty water for
washing)
• Cross contamination between raw vegetables and chicken

40. Marketing practices of vegetables

41. Marketing practices of vegetables
Transportation of cabbages from garden to wholesale market in Ouagadougou
43. Vegetable production systems
• Two main locations: village and peri-
urban
• Depend on season and site
• Practice adapted to market demand
• High use of pesticide specially for
tomatoes
• Very small scale of animal farming
• Some latrines built about 50 metres
from gardens
• High use of fertilizers (organic and
chemical)
44. Perception of consumers about quality and
safety of vegetables
• Onions must be heavy and dry, whereas tomatoes must be hard,
firm and without bruises, and they must not perish rapidly (e.g.
next day);
• Vegetables must look clean, as must the surroundings where
they are stored (this is a requirement of some customers,
especially those from HIHs);
• Lack of water received by the plants may cause poor quality
vegetables;
• The misuse of inputs (pesticides) is a major concern;
• Vegetables of poor quality (soft, perforated) are sold to ready-
to-eat food processors who as supposed to cook them the same
day. But if the level of spoilage is very advanced, the vegetables
are systematically discarded.
45. Perception of consumers about quality and
safety of vegetables
• Overcooking can destroy some nutrients of some
vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots
• Men believe that the tomato and onions are more
nutritious
• Women consider lettuce and cucumbers (green
vegetables) to be more nutritious
"All vegetables pose a risk because the chemicals are used and cause the
vegetables to rot after a few days. However, it is the lettuce that is at high risk
because of dirty water and parasites. " (from a male consumer)

47. Summary - risky practices identified in the chicken value
chain
• The use of wastewater (e.g. around hospitals);
• The misuse of chemicals (pesticides residues, and
fertilizers);
• The mis-perception of quality by consumers referred as
prettiness of vegetables and pesticide smell
48. Recommendations for improving food safety
• Educate consumers about the dangers linked to their mis-perception of
quality;
• Sensitize consumers on how to identify un-healthy products;
• Train processors on best practices (slaughtering, evisceration, storage);
• Promote appropriate packaging for raw chicken;
• Demonstrate cheap practical slaughtering slabs
• At the street restaurant – sensitize on cross contamination
• Better understand cooking practices and promote indigenous good practices
• Sensitize and train producers on good farming practices (reduce of chemical,
quality seeds and unclean water)
• Raise awareness of producers about withdrawal period of drugs
