Considered as one of the priorities of the National Development Plan, Togo’s agricultural sector can already congratulate itself on its first symbolic victory: according to the latest figures published by the European Commission, in 2019 Togo became the leading exporter of organic agricultural products from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to the European Union (EU) and the second largest on the continent, after Egypt. Better still, the small West African country (56,000 km2 for 8.6 million inhabitants) saw its volumes shipped to the EU more than double (+102%) between 2018 and 2019, with its exports of organic agricultural products to this destination rising from 22,000 tonnes to nearly 45,000 tonnes over the period.
