Maazou MAIGA is an agronomist and government official. In parallel, he runs a cattle feed manufacturing unit.<br /><br />In Fada N’Gourma, a town in the East of Burkina Faso, Maazou comes from a family involved in livestock breeding and trade. Since his childhood, he is used to help in the family business, notably by collecting cereal brans to feed the animals. <br /><br />From his personal experience, he found that it was increasingly difficult to feed animals properly. After graduating in agronomy and working for a few years as an officer of the Ministry of Agriculture, Maazou decided to install a cattle feed factory in his hometown, made from cotton seed.<br /><br />“We are able to satisfy about 80% of the demand per week or about 80 tons of feed per week,” says Maazou.<br />
