About Togo
Togo is one of the smallest African states with 56 785 km2, stretching for about 700 km from north to south with a width not exceeding 100 km, bordered on the north by Burkina Faso, on the south by the gulf From Guinea, on the east by Benin and on the west by Ghana. This small area does not prevent Togo from being recognized for the great diversity of its landscapes (a coast of fine sand lined with coconut trees to the south, hills, green valleys and small mountains in the center of the country, Arid areas and large savannas planted with baobab trees to the north).

The port of Lomé, the only deep-sea port in the subregion, is therefore a free zone that is rapidly developing. Container traffic (in containers) in Lomé doubled in three years to reach 212,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent) in 2005.
