Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between migration and agricultural production in Burkina Faso. It lies on the model of the New Economics of Labor Migration, and uses the 2003 to 2004 cropping season data collected in the Sudanese area. The results show that the majority of rural households in Burkina Faso are involved in migration, and migration is an important part of their income. The results obtained from the analysis come to validate partially the assumptions of the New Economics of Labor Migration; which highlight some weaknesses in the way markets function in the rural area notably the labor market. Key words: Migration, remittances, agricultural production, new economics of labor migration, Burkina Faso
