TOGO
GTZ – IPM Project
Time frame: 1979-1985
Key activities on neem: This project included the first in-depth investigations of crude water
extracts of neem seeds on pests of vegetables.
Trials were carried out in eggplant, gboma (Solanum aethiopicum), okra, brassicas, curcurbitacae,
cowpea and against Sesamia stemborer in maize. This trials and results have come
to be regarded as "classic". The techniques of applying neem extracts have been promoted
by the national Togolese plant protection service among small farmers; it has also produced
some leaflets on the application of neem oil for the preservation of beans, and neem extracts
on cabbage and gboma.
Although the effects of neem have been known in Togo now for nearly 20 years, there are
only a few NGOs and entrepreneurs promoting and processing neem into half-finished
products such as oil, cake and powder.
"Groupe d'Action pour la Protection de l'Environnement et des Cultures" - GAPEC
Basic simple products are offered by GAPEC in Kpalimé, founded in 1996. GAPEC is promoting
planting of neem trees and processing of neem seeds by informing farmers about the
efficacy of neem products and training them. GAPEC is producing neem powder and neem
oil on a small scale - which they sell to farmers. They process approx. 6 t neem seeds per
year. GAPEC also assists other (women’s) NGOs in establishing similar activities.
