Grain: Togo maintained an upward dynamic with an output of 1.433 million Mt in 2022

(Togo First) - Togo produced more grains last year than the year before, 2% more to be exact, thus sustaining the sector’s growth dynamic that started in 2018.

Indeed, recent data from the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) puts the country’s grain output in 2022-2023 at 1.433 million metric tons, against 1.404 million metric tons in 2021-2022. 

In 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively, Togo produced 1.19 million Mt, 1.26 million Mt, and 1.35 million Mt of grains according to the BCEAO. 

In 2021, the production of corn, the most consumed cereal in the country, stood at 929,000 tons (up by 4.5% YoY), while the production of paddy rice and millet-sorghum stood at 165,50 tons (+3.5%) and 304,600 tons (down by 2,000 t).
