Togo - Foreign trade
Togo's export earnings in 2000 fell to nearly half their 1999 level due to sharp declines in coffee, cotton, and gold output. Togo's main export commodities are crude fertilizers (25%), cotton (22%), and cement (15%). Other exports include coffee (6%) and cocoa (4.9%).
In 2000 Togo's imports were distributed among the following categories:

| Food | 16.3% |
| Fuels | 18.8% |
| Industrial supplies | 34.9% |
