On the regional emblem, the 33 stars refer to the 33 departments that compose
the region. The central element is surrounded by the two most significant crops
in Burkina Faso, sorghum and maize. Burkina Faso was in 2014 the world's 10th
producer of sorghum (1.7 million ton). Production of maize increased from 1.13
million ton in 2011 to 1.710 million tonnes in 2019.
