Adrien Sibomana (born 4 September 1953, in Bukeye, Muramvya) was the prime minister of Burundi from 19 October 1988 until 10 July 1993. He was a member of UPRONA. He is an ethnic Hutu and was appointed by the Tutsi President Pierre Buyoya in an unsuccessful attempt to appease Hutus by giving a few high government posts to them. Sibomana was the first Hutu prime minister since 1973 and had been the governor of Muramvya Province previously.
Retired from politics after this experience, he is currently leading the movement of organic agriculture in Burundi. He is an active member of KiliMohai East African organic label, which is part of IFOAM East Africa. He declares being involved in organic agriculture since 2011.
