Burkina Faso’s forests have high but under-used potential for local oil-seed production, which deserves to be promoted as a substantial source of income for rural and urban communities. This study aimed to assess the potential for establishing added-value chains based on local oil-seed trees to enhance the local economy and the sustainability of managed resources in the Kenedougou province in western Burkina Faso. To do so, we conducted ethnobotanical surveys, a mass-balance assessment of oil production and a market survey on oils and oil products. To better understand resource availability, an estimation of oil-seed production and the structure of stands were assessed. The results showed that 11 well-known oleaginous species, including Carapa procera DC., Lophira lanceolata Van Tiegh. ex Keay and Pentadesma butyracea Sabine, have high oil production potential. The traditional extraction process for C. procera oil is characteristically artisanal, yielding 65.49% of the total oil content of the seeds. For L. lanceolata and P. butyracea, oil extraction is semi-artisanal, yielding 69.08% and 75.21% respectively of the total oil content. The acidity and para-anisidine indices of extracted oils were ranged within acceptable values of the Codex Alimentarius. Seven potential value-added chains were identified for products from these three oil-seed species, three of which deserve to be promoted: the unprocessed P. butyracea butter for export, with an 88.23% Chance of Contributing to Poverty-reducing Growth in Burkina Faso (CCCP-BF), the artisanal medicinal soap of C. procera (79.41%) and industrially produced medicinal soap of C. procera (73.5%). Analysis of the value-added chain for artisanal medicinal soap shows a 77.76% chance of contribution to overall wealth-producing growth. Seventy percent of operators earn less than 20% of the total turnover from the value-added chain, currently 22,904.2 Euros/year. This total income would increase to at least 51,929.1 Euros/year if the operators were to engage in promoting the value-added chain.
