Togo: Food Security Agency launches cereal sales campaign

(Togo First) - The National Food Security Agency of Togo currently sells cereals at low cost nationwide. The campaign, which will last a month, began on March 20.

The cereals sold are corn, rice, beans, and sorghum, in bags of 50kg and 20kg. According to the ANSAT, each region will receive 200 tons of grains.

The cereals are purchased from farmers during harvest. The operation aims to make sure Togolese populations can readily obtain cereals.

The Togolese government, it should be recalled, plans to commit CFA13 billion to food security this year, in line with its finance bill. This is 25% of the annual budget for the ministry of agriculture, knowingly CFA52 billion.
