Togo

In 2024, Togo was not a globally significant producer of mineral commodities. The production of mineral commodities represented only a minor part of the economy of Togo. Mineral commodities produced in Togo included cement, diamond, gold, gravel, iron ore, limestone, and phosphate rock. The legislative framework for the mineral sector in Togo is provided law No. 2003–012. The Ministry of Mines and Energy Resources oversees the mineral sector and manages the distribution of permits for exploration, and the administration of investments in the sector. Most mineral commodities were produced by international and domestic private companies (Ministère des Mines et des Ressources Energétiques, undated; World Bank, The, 2024). 

Data on mineral production are in the Production table. The Facilities table is a list of major mineral industry facilities in the country. More-extensive coverage of government policies and programs can be found in previous editions of this chapter in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook, volume III, Area Reports—International—Africa and the Middle East, which are available at https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nmic/africa-and-middle-east.
