Characterisation of the strawberry (fragaria vesca) growing system in the peri-urban areas of the city of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). Burkina Faso is one of the main strawberry producing countries in West Africa. Cultivated in the provinces of Kadiogo, Houet and Boulgou, it is a speciality of the country. However, this crop does not benefit from technical support from research structures. Today, with the economic growth of West African countries, its demand could therefore increase. This study, conducted on the Boulmiougou site, aimed to characterise the strawberry cultivation system in order to improve knowledge of the species and highlight its potential. To this end, a survey was conducted among 31 strawberry producers. The results of the study indicate that the current knowledge of strawberry cultivation is based on many years of experience of the producers. Indeed, the cultivation practices adopted do not follow any established technical itinerary with derisory means of production. Strawberry cultivation is not very widespread and is practised on the edges of the lowlands, on an average area of 0.24 ha per producer. Its production is limited because its clientele is restricted to the wealthy classes.
