Context

The CCFCC is a parastatal entity created in 1996 by Interministerial Order No. 17/MCTP/MDRHV operating under the supervision of the Ministries in charge of Trade and Agriculture. It is dedicated to the improvement and promotion of the coffee and cocoa sectors and the coordination of its marketing. The Committee is composed of 14 members including representatives of exporters, producers, financial institutions, the Directorate of Product Packaging (DCP), the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture.
 
The Coordination Committee for the Coffee and Cocoa Sectors (CCFCC), with the support of its two supervisory ministries, has developed in collaboration with the other stakeholders in the sector, a Development Plan (Strategy plan) for each of the coffee and cocoa sectors in 2023. These development plans were adopted by the various stakeholders in the sector, during an adoption workshop which took place from October 9 to 11, 2024. These development plans will guide the actions of the CCFCC by 2030 and will make it possible to sustainably increase the performance of the two sectors.

Objectives

The objective was to deepen the strategy plans prepared by the CCFCC for the Cocoa and coffee sectors in Togo.

 
The analysis will focus in the following areas:
  1. Potential for increasing production and productivity in the coffee and cocoa sectors in Togo,
  2. Taking into account the criteria of the EU zero deforestation regulation,
  3. Identifying target markets and requirements for each product,
  4. Review of financing possibilities for the implementation of the two strategy plans and
  5. Review of the gender gap in the sectors and identify of opportunities for women.
 

Results

The expected impact is to develop the coffee and cocoa sectors in Togo in a sustainable and inclusive manner. This will lead to a more productive sector, with more exports, and with more and better jobs.
