The 18th edition of the International Handicraft Fair of Ouagadougou (SIAO) is in full swing in the Burkinabe capital. Launched on October 30 with a closing scheduled for November 8, 2026, the event marked a symbolic milestone on November 3 with a celebration dedicated to Ghana. As the guest of honor country for this edition, Ghana has a privileged showcase to display its cultural and economic wealth to international visitors and buyers present on the site. More than 100 Ghanaian exhibitors have taken over the premises, presenting a varied range of products ranging from fine crafts to local agri-food specialties. This special day allows not only to strengthen cooperation ties between Burkina Faso and Ghana, but also to give increased visibility to Ghanaian artisans on the regional market. The Burkinabe public and industry professionals were thus able to discover the originality and quality of the productions from the guest of honor country. While the success of the turnout for this day is confirmed, the precise economic impact of this event for Ghanaian exhibitors remains to be evaluated at the end of the fair.
