Earlier Report Observations
The market for cottonseed oil and fractions in Togo expanded from 9 604 t in 2018 to 10 938 t in 2019. This growth was supported by the Ministry of Agriculture's 'Top Produits du Terroir' initiative, which promoted the commercialization of processed and packaged agricultural products, including oils. Concurrently, a strategic vision for the cotton sector aimed at significantly increasing cottonseed production, providing a stable raw material base for oil processing. The development of the soybean sector as an alternative oilseed also indicated broader agricultural diversification.
Market volume contracted to 9 236 t in 2020 and further to 7 013 t in 2021. The entry of the Singapore-based group Olam as the majority shareholder of the Nouvelle Société Cotonnière du Togo in mid-2020 introduced a period of industrial modernization that may have temporarily disrupted supply chains. Subsequently, the 2021-2022 cotton campaign faced documented challenges including drought and floods, which reduced cottonseed availability and constrained oil production.
A partial recovery to 7 566 t occurred in 2022, primarily driven by the Agricultural Sector Support Project (PASA), which boosted the processing yields and commercialization of vegetable oils, including cottonseed oil. This positive effect was partially offset by rising production and distribution costs following a government decree increasing fuel prices. In 2023, the market saw a slight decrease to 7 134 t, coinciding with a noted industry shift as companies like CAP Togo focused their expansion on other product lines such as high-performance lubricants.
