Togo Opens Two New Industrial Plants to Boost Pharma and Fertilizer Sectors

(Togo First) - On April 23, 2025, Togo inaugurated two new industrial plants at the Adétikopé Industrial Platform (PIA): FHC Médica, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, and NutriSource, a fertilizer producer. The ceremony, held during the country’s 65th independence anniversary celebrations, marks a key step in expanding the industrial platform’s activities.

Prime Minister Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé led the event, highlighting the government’s push to build local value chains in strategic sectors. “These projects illustrate our desire to offer concrete solutions to our economic challenges: access to health, food security, and employment,” said Investment Minister Manuella Santos.

FHC Médica occupies 7,000 square meters and already employs about 100 young Togolese workers. Its annual output capacity includes 750 million tablets, 150 million capsules, and 30 million syrups. The company aims to supply affordable generic medicines to Togo and neighboring markets.

NutriSource, backed by Dubai-based Fertistream, will produce fertilizers tailored to African soils. The plant can churn out 200,000 tonnes annually and store 60,000 tonnes. Its goal is to cut logistics costs and meet local agricultural needs with flexible, small-batch formulas. 

“This is our first investment in Africa, and we chose to do it here in Togo because we believe in the potential of the country and the sub-region,” said Fertistream CEO Imane Belhiti.

More inaugurations are planned at the PIA as part of the independence celebrations.
