(Togo First) - The government of Togo will organize general assemblies in the husbandry sector. These assemblies will gather all actors engaged in the sector to reflect on reforms likely to boost the country’s output, and especially tackle the 45% deficit in meat products at the national level.
Indeed, the country records a shortfall in this area despite production in sub-sectors like poultry and small ruminants having improved with the PASA. The latter also helped increase its beneficiaries’ income by 50%.
“
Despite the special attention the State pays to husbandry, there is still much to be done,” said Antoine Lekpa, Minister of agriculture, livestock, and rural development, last week at the launch of regional workshops dedicated to livestock promotion.
