The company plays a significant role in Burkina Faso’s economy by valorizing the abundant fruit production, particularly mangoes, which dominate 58% of the nation’s orchards and 56% of its fruit output.
Things became though at some point and for the first time, Dafani faced financial difficulties, leading to a closure in 2010.
With state intervention and a financial restructuring plan, including 2 billion FCFA from the government and increased capital from 750 million to 2.25 billion FCFA, the company resumed operations in 2011.
