Togo Pushes Local Products for Labour Day

(Togo First) - Togo’s government pushes local consumption ahead of May 1, 2025. On April 29, Minister Rose Kayi Mivedor-Sambiani orders public institutions to prioritize “Made in Togo” goods and services for official events, including Workers’ Day.

The government aims to boost domestic demand, showcase Togolese skills, support local processing, and strengthen national value chains. “Compliance with this directive is key to the success of our socio-economic development policy,” the minister insists.

This instruction builds on a 2020 circular from the Prime Minister’s Office that tells administrations and state companies to use local products and foods at their events.

For five years, Togo has celebrated a month of local consumption with its WAEMU neighbors to highlight national production, led by the Ministry of Commerce.
