Earlier Report Observations

The market for milk and cream in Togo expanded from 12 457 tonnes in 2018 to 13 729 tonnes in 2020. This growth was supported by government initiatives under the National Agricultural Policy toward 2030, which included backing for mini-dairies and pasture zones to modernize local milk production. Additionally, the promotion of local products through programs like "Top Produits du Terroir" helped stimulate demand for domestically produced dairy items.

Market volume dipped to 13 176 tonnes in 2021 before stabilizing around 13 141 tonnes in 2022. During this period, authorities exempted imported unsweetened condensed milk from value-added tax to bolster consumer purchasing power, while a crackdown on the distribution of expired milk in the Savanes region reinforced quality controls and consumer confidence on the dairy market.

A sharp rebound occurred in 2023, with market volume reaching 14 323 tonnes. This increase coincided with the implementation of measures favoring local trade, which improved distribution and commercialization channels for dairy products. Ongoing modernization of local markets with cold storage and processing facilities, along with the validation of an agri-food exporters directory, are further strengthening the market's infrastructure.
