To enhance the competitiveness of crop value chains, Togo is developing technical and economic tools to guide investments, optimize production, and improve the sustainability of agro-industrial value chains.
The Agency for the Development of Very Small, Small, and Medium Enterprises (ADTPME) has launched a call for expressions of interest to recruit an expert to develop these benchmarks for crop production.
The initiative is part of the Youth Entrepreneurs Support Project for Value Chains (PAJEC), financed by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the YEI MDTF Trust Fund.
Based in Lomé, the selected expert will assist ADTPME in identifying high-potential value chains, mapping employment opportunities, and proposing development plans for agro-industrial clusters, particularly benefiting young people and women.
These benchmarks are expected to improve economic planning, facilitate access to finance for agricultural MSMEs, and strengthen the sector’s overall competitiveness.
Applications are open until November 17, 2025.
