Dear prospective investors,

Association Zeinidine et l’Assistance des Etudiants (AZAE) is pleased to support and facilitate any investments undertaken in the cashew juice/mango juice industry in the central region of Togo, Tchamba. This sector is surprisingly unpenetrated and it presents enormous investment opportunities as Togo is one of the leading countries producing cashew fruits and mangos. We can assure that there is huge growth potential in this industry as both cashew fruit and mangos are produced in abundance. The cashew nut industry has already been opened in Togo, but the production of cashew juice is still an untouched area. We believe this is a great opportunity to open a juice factory producing and exporting cashew juice. Mango is also a fruit you find in abundance and there is certainly another opportunity of a juice factory producing and exporting mango juice. At this point mango juice is imported to Togo while there is an obvious opportunity to produce its own. Favourable logistics, cheap labour and openness to foreign investments are all factors that will benefit potential investors.

I would like to echo the Togolese’ government strong commitment to support and facilitate foreign investments which will also contribute in creating jobs.

Regardless of various uncertainties, Togo has presented rather positive economic figures the last few years. The government's decade-long effort, supported by the World Bank and the IMF, to implement economic reform measures, encourage foreign investment, and bring revenues in line with expenditures has moved slowly. Around 60% of employment is concentrated in the agricultural sector and it accounts for 20% of the country’s exports. These are all figures that again reiterate the enormous investment opportunity in the cashew juice/mango juice industry.

We strongly believe this initiative will support the youth through the creation of  job opportunities for students seeking additional financing. 

Yours Sincerely,

President

Idrissou Zeini Toure
