Food is the foundation of life, stability, and national development. A country that cannot feed its population cannot achieve lasting economic growth or social peace. Large-scale food crop production is therefore one of the most critical pillars for Burundi’s future.
Producing food crops in high volume using modern agricultural methods will enable Burundi to eliminate hunger, stabilize food availability, and control food prices across the country. When food is available and affordable, families live with dignity, children learn better, and communities become stronger.
Burundi consumes large quantities of basic food crops every single day. These include maize, beans, rice, cassava, sweet potatoes, bananas, sorghum, vegetables, and other staple foods that form the backbone of daily meals for millions of citizens.
By shifting from small, uncoordinated farming to organized, large-scale production, Burundi can ensure that these essential foods are produced in sufficient quantity throughout the year. This reduces dependency on imports and protects the country from international food price shocks.
One of the most important objectives of this project is to build strong national food reserves capable of feeding the entire population for at least three years. These reserves act as a shield during climate change effects, droughts, floods, pandemics, or any national emergency.
When food reserves exist, panic disappears. Markets remain stable, prices stay under control, and citizens are protected from hunger-related crises. This stability is essential for long-term development and national security.
Agriculture is not a sign of poverty, it is the strongest weapon against it. Large-scale food production creates income for farmers, employment for youth, opportunities for cooperatives, and business growth across transport, storage, processing, and trade.
When agriculture is modernized and organized, it becomes a profitable sector. Farmers earn consistently, families invest in education and health, and rural areas experience real transformation.
Agriculture is not optional—it is the only sustainable path to ending poverty in Burundi. Every citizen is called to take farming seriously, join agricultural movements, support cooperatives, and invest effort in food production.
By producing food at scale, we feed our people, protect our future, and build a strong, independent, and prosperous Burundi.
Chakula ni msingi wa maisha, utulivu, na maendeleo ya taifa. Nchi isiyoweza kuwalisha wananchi wake haiwezi kufikia maendeleo ya kudumu. Uzalishaji mkubwa wa mazao ya chakula ni nguzo muhimu sana kwa mustakabali wa Burundi.
Kuzalisha chakula kwa wingi kwa kutumia mbinu za kisasa za kilimo kutasaidia Burundi kuondoa njaa, kudhibiti upatikanaji wa chakula, na kusawazisha bei katika masoko yote ya nchi.
Warundi hutumia kila siku mazao ya msingi kama mahindi, maharagwe, mpunga, muhogo, viazi vitamu, ndizi, mtama, na mboga. Uzalishaji wa kiwango kikubwa huhakikisha mazao haya yanapatikana mwaka mzima.
Lengo kubwa la mradi huu ni kujenga akiba ya chakula itakayoweza kulisha taifa kwa angalau miaka mitatu wakati wa majanga, mabadiliko ya tabianchi, au milipuko ya magonjwa.
Kilimo si ishara ya umaskini—ni silaha ya kuumaliza. Kilimo cha kiwango kikubwa huleta kipato, ajira kwa vijana, na ukuaji wa biashara vijijini.
Kila raia anaitwa kuchukulia kilimo kwa uzito, kujiunga na harakati za kilimo, na kuchangia uzalishaji wa chakula. Hii ndiyo njia pekee ya kuondoa umaskini na kujenga Burundi imara.
Ibifungurwa ni ishingiro ry’ubuzima, amahoro, n’iterambere ry’igihugu. Igihugu kidashoboye kwigaburira ntigishobora gutera imbere mu buryo buramba. Igikorwa c’ivyamwa n’ibiribwa ni inkingi ikomeye y’ejo hazaza h’u Burundi.
Kurima ibiribwa vyinshi hakoreshejwe uburimyi bugezweho bizotuma inzara isidukana n'iyonka, ibiciro bikagabanuka, n’abanyagihugu bakagira umutekano wo kuronka ivyo bafungura.
Abarundi bafungura imisi yose ibigori, ibiharage, umuceri, imyumbati, ibitoke, amasaka n’imboga. Kurima ku rugero runini bituma ivyo biribwa biboneka igihe cose.
Intumbero y’iki gikorwa ni kugira ububiko bw’ibiribwa bushobora kugaburira igihugu imyaka itatu mu gihe c’ihindagurika ry’ibihe, indwara, canke ivyago bitunguranye.
Uburimyi si ikimenyetso c’ubukene—ni igikoresho c’uko burandurwa. Kurima ku rugero runini biha akazi urwaruka, bigatuma imiryango yinjiza amahera kandi igatera imbere.
Umurundi wese aratumirwa gufata uburimyi nk’igisata gikomeye, kwifatanya n’imigambi y’uburimyi, no gutanga umusanzu mu kurima ibiribwa. Iyo niyo nzira yo gutsinda ubukene no kwubaka u Burundi butanyeganzwa.
