Abstract
Vegetables have a potential to alleviate food insecurity. However, the non-consumption of indigenous (neglected) vegetables either by choice or ignorance of their nutritional potential might limit their contribution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the production, the consumption and the nutritional content of five neglected vegetables. Firstly, the study was conducted using a descriptive survey on 116 producers and 137 consumers by conducting face to face interview and administration of questionnaires. Two distinctive questionnaires were administrated to assess production and consumption of vegetables. A survey was carried in the garden for production and in households for consumption which where around of FadaN?Gouma and Di?bougou town, respectively located in Est and South-West regions of Burkina Faso. Secondly the nutritional content of collected vegetables was determined through standardized methods. Most of the producers in the Eastern region were women (91.07%) compared to the South-Western where all were men. For consumption, all of the respondents were women. Okra was the most produced vegetable (98.3 %) compared to amaranth, black nightshade, jute mallow and African eggplant. Vegetables were mainly produced on dry season (75 %). More than the half of producers were beginning this activity less than 6 years ago. Vegetables were grown on small plots. Vegetable were daily consumed in the surveyed households. The main process consumption way was sauces. The fresh vegetables form was most preferred than the dried one. Household have satisfactory knowledge about the nutritional interest of vegetables consumption.
