TOGO OVERVIEW

Togo has emerged as one of the stable economies of West Africa and is engaged in an ambitious transformational economic agenda (the National Development Plan 2018-2022). It’s agenda aims to achieve inclusive, sustainable, and double- digit economic growth. Boosting the industrial transformation of agricultural commodities and supporting the development of job-intensive industries is a key component of the National Development Plan.

The Plateforme Industrielle d’Adetikope (PIA) will capitalise on our country’s rich natural resources, ensuring that Togo obtains a greater share of the value added through local industry deve- lopment dedicated to the processing and transformation right here in the country.

Togo is gateway of West Africa:

From north to south, Togo stretches over 600 km, its width varying between 50 and 150 Km. Togo boasts a particularly advantageous geostrategic position in West Africa. The economic zones (free, industrial, special), the road network and the port of Lomé occupy a central place in the region’s commercial transit, offering access to the sea for many landlocked neighboring countries (Sahelian countries in particular Burkina-Faso, Niger and Mali ). Togo is therefore proving to be an essential commercial hub for the West African sub-region, a key asset for its development strategy in the years to come.

Demographic Profile:

Togo – strong foothold in the cotton production:

Cotton has been cultivated and woven in Togo for centuries, long considered one of the success stories of African agriculture. The Plateforme Industrielle d’Adétikope will serve to pursue this story and allow Togo and its natural resources to thrive with modern infrastructure and integrated logistics services.

Togo located in the coast of West Africa. While the majority of the Togolese population depends on subsistence agriculture, cotton production alone employs 275,000 farmers: directly or indirectly supporting close to 2.5 million people.
