Togo’s poultry production hit 38.6 million heads in 2024. The Ministry of Economy reported the figure, citing the Ministry of Livestock. The output matches the government’s forecast of 38 million for the period.
The production rose 8% year-on-year; in 2023, Togo produced 35.7 million heads in 2023.
Last year, the Plateaux was the top-producing region with 13 million heads or nearly 34% of total output. The year before, this region produced over 12 million heads.
The Savanes followed, with 8 million heads, the same as in 2023 and 2022. The three other regions–the Central region, the Kara region, and the Maritime region–delivered 6 million, 5 million, and 4.8 million, respectively, in 2024.
Authorities expect the production to exceed 41 million heads this year. Beyond meeting statistical targets, authorities aim to develop a robust value chain within the poultry industry.
