Abstract
The data collected during this study reveal that the marketing of edible insects (ICs) is well integrated in the commune of Gitega where the study was conducted. This marketing habit is practiced in the same way by nearly 38% of men and even 62% of women of all ages and levels of education.
Its cultural importance and the major role played by women in this sector - the main actors and beneficiaries of the income generated by the ICs trade, were also highlighted. The different families including the 13 species of ICs identified in Burundi were studied to better characterize the insects sold and preferred by consumers. An analysis of the determinants of the level of satisfaction with the marketing of ICs was also carried out to better identify the level of satisfaction with the marketing of ICs and their integration at the national level in general and at the regional level in particular for sellers and consumers of ICs.
The data come from a survey conducted among IC sellers and consumers in January and February 2025. The documentation and exploratory phases allowed us to define the objectives, the problem, and the hypotheses, and to identify determinants related to the level of satisfaction with IC marketing. The impact of IC marketing and the Value Chain (VC) was first studied using various tests: Univariate and bivariate descriptive analysis (chi-square test), binary logistic regression, and multiple logistic regression.
The results of this study also highlight the contribution of entomophagy to reducing food insecurity in Burundi, its social implications (contribution to poverty reduction and women's empowerment) in light of the significant income generated by IC marketing, and the remaining needs for a better characterization of the species consumed in the political capital of the country.
