An important city in the Samatenga Province of Burkina Faso's North-Central Region, about 100 kilometers north of the capital city of Ouagadou, Korjai is a central hub of agricultural and commercial activity in the region. The city is surrounded by the vast Sahelian grasslands, which are rich in millet, maize, peanuts and other crops, and the local market is active and is a distribution center for agricultural products in the surrounding area. The inhabitants of Korje are mostly Mossi, with a strong culture of traditional crafts and fairs, and regular fairs that attract people from neighboring villages. Despite its relatively simple infrastructure, as a key node connecting the countryside to the regional economy, Korje plays an important role in Burkina Faso's national development and serves as a window into the life of the local agro-pastoral society.
