Present Situation 1. Even though in some areas (Ane'cho in the South, Kara in the North- east) population pressure and unimproved cultivation techniques have led to soil deterioration, generally there is room for expanding the area under cultivation and increasing productivity per hectare. Only one-tenth of the total area is devoted to agriculture. Irrigation practices are virtually unknown. Relatively favorable soil and climatic conditions exist in certain areas, mainly in the South, and significant improvements in yields through application of improved techniques of cultivation and increased input pos- sible. But it is not possible to fully appreciate the country's agricultural potential, neither to appraise economically the existing production pattern for lack of basic studies. Regional (as in the Savanna region), product (as for oil palm in the South), or sectoral (as the groundwater survey) surveys have been fortunately undertaken recently. (i) Production 2. Food crops (yams, cassava, corn, millet, sorghum, rice) account for over 80 percent of agricultural output. Production has in recent years supposedly increased with population. However, there are no systematic surveys and available data are suspect (see Appendix - Table 30 and 31). In particular, the supply difficulties to the cassava starch mill (Anecho region) suggest increasing difficulties in the supply of this important staple food. Data on industrial crops are more reliable, except for groundnuts and palm oil, which are partly for subsistence consumption. 3. Coffee of the robusta variety (9,000 tons) and cocoa (7,000 tons), the major export crops, are produced by small local farmers in the Southwestern part of Togo, within the triangle Palime'-Atakpame-Badou (350,000 people). Yields are low, mainly because of poor care. In spite of efforts made by the government to reduce the area under coffee and to intensify production, farmers have increased the coffee area (from 23,000 ha in 1964 to 26,000 ha in 1965), but continued low prices may well begin to have a disincentive effect now. Purchases of cocoa by the marketing Board (OPAT) considerably exceed local production as shown in Table 1 because of 'unofficial" imports of GhanaianL cocoa. Flunctuations in production can partly be explained by fluctuations in prices. They are also related to the farmers' need for cash since labor force requirements are limited to harvesting. A srnall experi- mental station run by IFCC, (Institut Francais pour le Cafe et le Cacao) will be established in 1967 at Tove.  ANNEX I Page 2 Table 1 Production and Purchases of Cocoa ('000 Metric Tons) 1964 1965 1966 Local production (estimate by Agri- culture Department) 6.6 8.1 6.4 Marketing Board purchases (OPAT) 16.5 15.6 17.1 4. An average of 55,000 ha are annually planted with the Mono variety of cotton which is normally intercropped with yams. Although average yields are low (150 kg per ha) the cultivation requires no current material inputs and little or no maintenance and is, therefore, of interest to the farmer. Total production is about 8,500 tons, almiost entirely exported as fiber and seed. The present production of the high yield Allen variety is rtill insignificant. 5. The bulk of the production ol' groundnuts (18,000 tons) is processed and sold locally. Orly one-fourth of the output is handled by OPAT and exported unshelled (about 3,000 tons). Wild palm groves produce about 13,000 tons of kernels for export. Palm oil production is about 10,000 tons of which over nine-tenths is consumed locally. The mill of Alokoegbe", established in 1954, sells the oil to SNAIDA (Societe Nationale des iHuileries du Dahomey). FED is financing a small plantation pro-ram (500 ha) to improve the supply of the mill. 6. There are about 6,000 ha of coconut palms along the seashore. The whole coconut area is infested with a virus (Kaincope disease) which has drastically reduced prodtuction (from 4,000 tons of copra in 1961 to 2,400 tons in 1966). The drop in the quantity marketed for export was even steeper (from 3,800 tons in 1961 to 443 tons in 1966) because the domestic price of coconut oil is increasing and the population increasingly likes that oil. 7. The area under rice covers about 27,000 ha. In 1965, the production reached 15,000 tons of paddy (1966 data are not reliable). The bulk of the output is produced in rainfed areas and rice is intercropped with maize, yams and cassava in the Central and Plateau regions. In the North, small irrigation is developing slow
