Chapter 3-7 Distribution and Sales Channels
Distribution and sales channels are concentrated in Burkina Faso's two largest cities - Ouagadougou (2006 est. 1,273,355 inhabitants) and Bobo-Dioulasso (2006 est. 435,543 inhabitants). Secondary urban areas could be considered for distribution of consumables such as dairy products, edible oils, and batteries, although they are already well served by the country's two largest cities. Distribution and sales entities operate under various forms, ranging from modern mini-markets, shops, and warehouses to informal sector market stands.
