Customer preferences: In Burkina Faso, consumer preferences in the butter market are gradually evolving, spurred by a growing interest in Western culinary practices and health awareness. Younger demographics, influenced by globalization and social media, are increasingly experimenting with butter as a cooking and baking ingredient. Additionally, rising exposure to international cuisines is fostering a shift away from traditional local fats, as consumers seek healthier alternatives. This change is further supported by urbanization, which has expanded access to diverse food products, enhancing the appeal of butter in modern kitchens.

The rise of social media and culinary influencers is encouraging experimentation with butter in both traditional and modern dishes. Additionally, the emergence of artisan and locally sourced butters is appealing to an urban demographic seeking quality and sustainability. This trend signifies a potential market evolution, prompting industry stakeholders to innovate and adapt their offerings to meet changing consumer demands and enhance market competitiveness.
