Agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy of Burkina Faso and other sub-Saharan African countries. It provides food for the population and is the primary source of employment in rural areas. The government of Burkina Faso has implemented a 2018–2027 Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral production sector policy to improve agricultural productivity and reduce poverty. This study uses a dynamic computable general equilibrium model linked to a microsimulation model, which evaluates the impact of subsidizing investment in agricultural capital on production, income, and poverty under three different fiscal financing scenarios. The results indicate that the agricultural mechanization subsidy program effectively reduces poverty, but the extent of the reduction varies depending on the financing method used. Financing the subsidy by reducing nonproductive public expenditure further reduces poverty, especially in rural areas. However, it is essential to supplement the subsidy policy with an agricultural extension service program for the program to have long-lasting effects.

农业在布基纳法索和其他撒哈拉以南非洲国家的经济中发挥着至关重要的作用。它为人口提供食物，是农村地区就业的主要来源。布基纳法索政府实施了2018-2027年农林牧生产部门政策，以提高农业生产力和减少贫困​​。本研究使用与微观模拟模型相联系的动态可计算一般均衡模型，评估了三种不同财政融资情景下农业资本投资补贴对生产、收入和贫困的影响。研究结果表明，农机化补贴项目有效减少了贫困，但减少的程度因融资方式的不同而不同。通过减少非生产性公共支出来为补贴提供资金进一步减少贫困，特别是在农村地区。但要使补贴政策产生持久效果，还必须辅之以农业推广服务项目。
