Une vendeuse de lait de vache passe, le 28 aout 2002, devant le plus vaste projet de riziere d'Afrique de l'ouest, pres du village de Hiena-Djonkele. Une dizaine d'ingenieurs taiwanais transforment en effet depuis quelques semaines les bas-fonds insalubres et impraticables de ce village burkinabe en un perimetre rizicole qui doit devenir le plus vaste d'Afrique de l'ouest. Les travaux comprennent la construction de vannes de retention d'eau, de digues, de canaux de drainage et de 23 kilometres de route, le tout representant un cout global de 22, 7 millions de dollars US finance par Taiwan. Situe a 400 km a l'ouest de Ouagadougou, ce projet doit occuper 1.800 hectares qui permettront a terme la production de 8.000 tonnes de riz. AFP PHOTO ISSOUF SANOGO / AFP PHOTO / ISSOUF SANOGO
