Minister of Agriculture, Noel Bataka, issues an order to promote local poultry

(Togo First) - In a recent memo, Togo’s minister of agriculture, Noel Bataka, has urged all actors of the local poultry industry, especially importers and suppliers, to “take all immediate measures, through clear and concise contracts, to clear poultry products in stock and to ensure a regular supply of local poultry.” 

In this framework, the ministry of agriculture issued an order giving 15 days, starting May 18, for actors concerned to comply with the instruction. 

Bataka’s initiative takes place in a context where it has been noticed that some poultry products’ importers and suppliers fail to keep the commitments they take during meetings with the minister, such as that to supply the local market. 

According to the minister’s memo, an authorization must now be obtained to import poultry products into Togo. He has instructed the customs officers to enforce this order.
