The National Federation of Soybean Producing Cooperatives in Togo (FNCPS-Togo) has received significant support from the National Association of Soybean Exporters and Traders (ANCES-Togo). On September 22, in Lomé, the organization handed over several all-terrain motorcycles to the federation. This donation aims to enhance the work of technicians responsible for closely monitoring soybean production across the country's five regions. The motorcycles will be instrumental in improving the follow-up and support provided to producers.
In addition to the motorcycles, ANCES-Togo also provided fuel vouchers worth 500,000 CFA francs and a check for half a million francs. These resources are expected to strengthen the capacity of the FNCPS-Togo to effectively accompany producers, improve yields, and ultimately increase the national soybean production. The support is part of ANCES-Togo's efforts to consolidate relationships within the soybean industry and promote collaboration based on responsibility, dialogue, and complementarity.
Tewou Kokou, President of ANCES-Togo's Board of Directors, highlighted the significance of this initiative. He emphasized that it reflects the association's commitment to enhancing the productivity, quality, and competitiveness of the soybean sector. Kokou also invited the beneficiaries to use the equipment efficiently, ensuring that it contributes to the improvement of the sector's overall performance.
The President of FNCPS-Togo's Board of Directors, Mme Daloli Mimbouab, expressed her gratitude for the support. She noted that the donation goes beyond providing a simple means of transportation, as it represents a strategic tool for accelerating the federation's presence on the ground. The motorcycles will facilitate the monitoring of requirements related to organic soybean certification and ensure a secure supply of high-quality seeds to contracted traders.
The ceremony took place in the presence of representatives from the Ministries of Commerce and Agriculture, the President of the Interprofessional Council of the Soybean Sector (CIFS), a representative from the German Development Cooperation (GIZ), and several soybean sector actors. This event underscores the collaborative efforts aimed at boosting Togo's soybean production and improving the livelihoods of producers.
The support provided by ANCES-Togo is expected to have a positive impact on the livelihoods of soybean producers in Togo. By improving their ability to monitor and manage production, the federation can enhance the overall efficiency of the sector. This, in turn, can contribute to the country's economic growth and food security.
The partnership between ANCES-Togo and FNCPS-Togo demonstrates a strong commitment to the development of the soybean sector in Togo. As the country continues to explore opportunities for growth and development, such collaborations will be crucial in ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of its agricultural sector. The future of soybean production in Togo looks promising, with the potential for increased yields and improved incomes for producers.
