Togo: Government to spend CFA13 billion on food security initiatives in 2023

(Togo First) - Togo plans to dedicate CFA13 billion to food security this year. The amount is fixed in the 2023 finance bill and represents 25% of the total budget allocated to the ministry of agriculture in 2023.

“We must feed ourselves, live from our agricultural activities, and provide for ourselves and our families to better invest in the economic development of the country,” said President Gnassingbe last Saturday at the end of the Agricultural Producers Forum (FoPAT).

Besides boosting local production, the CFA13 billion will also enable Togo’s Food Security Agency to sustain its grain purchase and storage policy. 

The government of Togo, let’s recall, is committed to the structural transformation of agriculture and the development of this sector. To this end, it launched several projects and programs.
