Abstract

Horticulture represents an important part of the agricultural economy in Burkina and Benin. Strawberry growing is a main activity for many producers. Strawberries are a high value-added product. This analytical review aims to summarize the work carried out on strawberries in order to define research perspectives for a better understanding of the constraints of its production. This review is produced from documentation focused on the relevance of the articles. The identified diseases and pests as the major constraints that can cause losses of up to 100% of production. Burkina is one of the major strawberry producers in West Africa unlike Benin where there are small farms in the North. A research perspective based on major constraints would make it possible to boost strawberry production and ensure better productivity.
