Togo imported 7.3 billion CFA francs worth of wine in 2025

It ranked as West Africa’s second-largest wine-import market after Côte d’Ivoire, although the figures also reflect Lomé’s role as a transit hub for neighboring countries. Togo’s wine re-exports reached 32,000 liters, valued at $27 million, with Burkina Faso the main destination. The 15 West African countries imported a total of $148.1 million in wine, led by Côte d’Ivoire, followed by Togo and Ghana.
