competitiveness and simplifying formalities for investors.

Managed since 1994 by the Société d'Administration de la
Free Zone (SAZOF), the free zone, is, from
of June 2019, administered by the Promotion Agency
of Investments and the Free Zone (API-ZF).
API-ZF is, in accordance with Law No. 2019-005 of
June 17, 2019 on the Code of investments in the Republic
Togolese, created for the administration of the code of
investments and the status of the free zone.

The Togolese Free Zone has been governed since 2011 by a new law, Law No. 2011-018 of June 24, 2011 on the status of an industrial free zone. The new law is more attractive and offers exporting companies the best conditions for doing business in West Africa.
It has now become a destination of choice for foreign and Togolese investors thanks to its very flexible eligibility conditions and the tax and customs benefits it offers.
|
The Togo Free Zone currently has,
74 active companies and 25 companies
being installed, distributed in
various sectors: food, agro-food,
plastic, wood & construction, pharmaceutical,
clothing & synthetic hair,
metal, horticulture, cosmetics and services.

The products of the free zone are mainly
exported to ECOWAS countries,
from Central Africa and Europe. With Togo's eligibility
at the AGOA and the upcoming arrival of the AfCFTA,
the export market for Togolese companies
is more than ever unlimited and can benefit
advantages in the US market.
