Burundian's Balance of Trade in Deficit: Introduction of A New Industrial Plant of Stevia as Positive Impact

The Burundian’s balance of trade is always in deficit. The exportation level is always lower by its importation. This is the one major indicator can evaluate the life quality of population in particular and the economic level of the country in general. In commerce, the balance of trade is used to express the difference between the value of exports from, and imports into the country. The balance of trade can be favourable when the value of the exports exceeded that of the imports, and be unfavourable when the value of the imports exceeded that of the exports. In case of Burundi, introducing the new industrial cultivation "STEVIA" will increase the surplus of the production in order to change the situation and its balance of trade as positive. This paper contributes to the evaluation relating to the Burundian’s balance of trade from 2010 to 2015 and analyses the impact of Stevia on its balance after introduction.
