The regeneration system of Borassus aethiopum in Burkina Faso is the subject of several
hypotheses. However, it is challenging to implement appropriate conservation strategies due to
the lack of usage of bioeconomic approaches to support this or that perspective... The objective
of this study is to settle this debate by assessing the status of palm tree stands using a
bioeconomic model based on a dynamic equilibrium price. The data used in the study was
gathered from thirty farming households in the study area in 2010, 2015, and 2020, as well as
from monitoring thirty farm sites. The results show that, on average, there is an equilibrium
between the rate of harvesting and the rate of regeneration of the palmyra palm. Nonetheless,
market prices do not reflect the species' value, as they are between 28% and 166% below their
implicit level. To ensure a proportionality coefficient between the equilibrium price and the
resource constraint, a dynamic Pigouvian tax should be applied, taking into account the gap, the
rate of exploitation, and regeneration
