Abstract

The decision of devaluating de F CFA should generate the decrease of imports, the improvement of exports competiti- vity, and of economic development in general, in particular of the agricultural sector. However, these effects can have negative social consequences, specially on food consumption. This is the reason why Burkina Faso among other countries implemented policies to partially avoid these negative impacts. An agricultural sector model was built up for this country to complete the analysis of the impact of the devaluation. This model is based on detailled representation of farmers' and consummers' behaviours (based on preferences and budgets). The results indicate that the devaluation had a positive impact on farmers in general but specially for those of the western region. Urban consummers seemed to have responded by a substitution among products (rice by broken rice or millet, etc.). The results on the trade balance are lower that expected.
