Togo focuses on restructuring the coffee and cocoa sectors: a CFAF 22 billion investment plan for sustainable development by 2030

The Togolese government is advancing its efforts to foster the well-being of its people by planning to develop the coffee and cocoa sectors by 2030. From October 9 to 11, a validation workshop brought together various national and international stakeholders to discuss the new strategic plans.

 

These plans, prepared by experts, outline a total investment of 22 billion FCFA, with 11.7 billion FCFA earmarked for coffee and 10.3 billion FCFA for cocoa.

 

Key priorities include the restructuring of the sectors and establishing a financial support mechanism for small-scale farmers, who are often the most vulnerable.

 

The goal is to create a professional framework to boost the profitability of producers while ensuring stable incomes for their families.

 

Kayi Mivedor-Sambiani, Minister of Trade, emphasized that these plans would serve as essential tools for the sustainable growth of the sectors and to support future government initiatives.

 

Enselme Gouthon, head of the Coffee and Cocoa Sector Coordination Committee (CCFCC), highlighted that the primary goal is to enhance productivity while promoting local processing of these key crops.

 

This would not only improve quality but also create more jobs in Togo by focusing on local value addition.

 

The initiative aims to increase the contribution of these sectors to the agricultural economy of the country while ensuring sustainable development for producers.
