    Burkina Faso actually accomplished this very recently iirc

    Agriculture stood out as a major achievement, with Traoré announcing that Burkina Faso reached food self-sufficiency in 2025, thanks to effective campaigns, improved seeds, subsidies, and mechanization. Plans for 2026 include further land development, water retention projects, aquaculture, and fodder crop production.
