Avoid investing in Togo without considering these lucrative sectors. With a robust economic growth and audacious reforms, Togo is emerging as a business hub in West Africa. As an investor, member of the diaspora or young entrepreneur, you need to know where to put your money this year.
The Agriculture and Local Transformation Sector
The era of exporting raw materials is over. Thanks to the incentives offered by the Platform Industrielle d'Adétikopé (PIA), local transformation is now the most profitable sector in Togo.
The key filières are: organic soybean, cotton, cashew nuts and manioc. These sectors offer opportunities for conditioning, grain processing, juice production and cold chain logistics.
Investors can capitalize on this by setting up processing facilities, manufacturing juice from local fruits and establishing a cold storage chain.
The Tech and Financial Services Sector
Togo is experiencing an explosion in mobile penetration and Internet usage. The digitalization of public services opens up vast opportunities for digital solutions.
Key areas to invest include: digital payment solutions, e-commerce platforms, EdTech applications and cybersecurity services for SMEs.
The Real Estate and BTP Sector in Lomé
Lomé is undergoing rapid modernization. The demand for modern housing, professional offices and secure commercial spaces far exceeds supply.
Investors can focus on the outskirts of Lomé and secondary cities like Kara and Kpalimé (tourism and residential sectors).
