  ABSTRACT: This paper delves into the critical role of modern agricultural machinery and Agri-Food Supply Chain Management (AFSCM) in fostering efficient agricultural development in Africa, with Burkina Faso as a focal point. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the contributions of modern agricultural production machinery and strategic supply chain management in the specific context of Burkina Faso. Through an in-depth case study approach, the study analyses the adoption patterns and effectiveness of modern agricultural machinery, contrasting them with traditional and semi-mechanized methods employed by Burkinabe farmers. Additionally, it examines the current state of AFSCM implementation in the agricultural sector and food supply chain in Burkina Faso. The findings of this research contribute valuable insights into the dynamics of agricultural development in Burkina Faso and further in Africa, offering practical recommendations for optimizing the synergy between modern machinery and efficient supply chain management to enhance overall productivity and sustainability in the agricultural sector and the improvement of Burkinabe food chain.
