Togo injects more than CFA1.2bn in husbandry under PASA project

(Togo First) - In the framework of the project to support agriculture sector (projet d’Appui au Secteur Agricole-PASA), government disbursed CFA1.2 billion to support the husbandry sector. The project falls under the national program for investment in the agriculture and food security sectors (Programme National d’Investissement Agricole et de Sécurité Alimentaire- PNIASA).

This was revealed by an official from the ministry of agriculture during a campaign to sensitize the population about agropoles and TIRSAL.

Most of the monies spent by the government was used to support 59 poultry and small ruminants’ farmers and thanks to this, husbandry was considerably boosted.

Indeed, thanks to this project and others, the population of small ruminants in the country has increased from 1,500,000 in 2011 to 4,800,000 in 2017. Similarly, the number of chicken has increased from 8,000,000 to 22,500,000 over the same period.
