Tuber: Togo Produced 2.51 million Tonnes in 2024, Up 5.5% YoY

(Togo First) - Togo produced 2,515,000 tonnes of tubers in 2024, against 2,406,614 tonnes in 2023. The Ministry of Agriculture reported this data in the Citizens’ Budget, highlighting a steady upward trend since 2022, when production rose by 7.5% to 2,238,529 tonnes.

The Plateaux and Centrale regions produced the most, 768,864 tonnes and 519,708 tonnes, respectively.

The increased output coincides with Lomé’s 2024-2028 plan to develop the root and tuber sector. Under this plan, the government seeks to raise CFA2.34 billion to fund development actions.

The Ministry of Agriculture and the Interprofessional Council for the Root and Tuber Plant Sector (CIFPRT) developed the four-year strategy. It was validated in 2023.
