Earlier Report Observations

The market for not carded or combed cotton in Togo contracted sharply from 134.4 thousand tons in 2018 to 34.6 thousand tons in 2021, driven by a steep fall in domestic production. A 43% drop in output in 2021 was directly caused by extensive floods and increased competition from soybean cultivation, which significantly reduced planted area and yields.

From 2022, the market recovered partially, reaching 55.5 thousand tons in 2023. This turnaround was supported by government measures, including the establishment of minimum purchase prices for seed cotton and the adoption of an industrial free zone law aimed at stimulating local processing. Under the management of the New Cotton Company of Togo with Olam's participation, cultivated area and yields improved, helping to stabilize production.
