Togo has just validated a five-year investment plan going from 2024 to 2028 for its pineapple industry. The strategy, conceived in May 2023, is valued at CFA9.5 billion. The plan includes doubling the national output, from 44,391 tons to 88,782 tons by 2028, and boosting local processing from 35% of the production to 75% by 2028.
The plan will focus on three key pillars: promoting sustainable cultivation methods, improving local farmers’ access to the market, and improving the institutional framework and governance in the sector.
Togo plans to capitalize on its pineapples’ aroma and taste; it also can expand pineapple cultivation and occupies a prime position in the organic produce market, which is in strong demand. This value chain has enough assets to be part of the agro-industrial and agropole dynamic promoted by the national authorities and their partners.
