Based on the 2024 data, the top imports to the US from Togo by value are: Residues, wastes of food industry, animal fodder ($75.03 Million) Bird skin, feathers, artificial flowers, human hair ($6.22 Million) Oil seed, oleagic fruits, grain, seed, fruits ($5.56 Million) Animal, vegetable fats and oils, cleavage products ($5.11 Million) Articles of apparel, knit or crocheted ($1.69 Million) Here's a breakdown of which states in the US can manufacture similar goods, along with examples of companies: Residues, wastes of food industry, animal fodder: This is a broad category, but states with significant agricultural and food processing industries would be involved in generating and processing these types of products. Iowa: A major producer of corn and soybeans, leading to byproducts used in animal feed. Companies like Cargill and ADM have a large presence in Iowa for processing grains and oilseeds into animal feed ingredients. California: With a large agricultural sector, California produces various fruit and vegetable residues used in animal feed. Companies like Blue Diamond Growers (almond hulls) and various citrus processing plants generate such byproducts.   Texas: Has a significant livestock industry, driving demand for animal feed. Numerous feed mills and agricultural processing companies operate in the state.   Other states with substantial agriculture and related processing include Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas, and Wisconsin.   Bird skin, feathers, artificial flowers, human hair: Feathers and Down: States with poultry processing industries would handle feathers. Georgia: A leading poultry-producing state. Companies like Tyson Foods and Pilgrim's Pride have operations in Georgia.   Arkansas: Another major poultry state with companies like Simmons Foods.   Artificial Flowers: This manufacturing is less geographically concentrated but can be found in states with textile and craft industries. New York: Has a history of textile and novelty manufacturing. While large companies might be less prominent now, smaller businesses and importers exist.   California: Has a diverse manufacturing base, including some novelty and craft items.   Human Hair: This is primarily an import with limited domestic manufacturing of raw human hair. However, processing and wig/extension manufacturing occur in various states. California: Los Angeles has a significant market for hair extensions and wigs, with numerous distributors and some processing. New York: Similar to California, with a large market and some processing activities. Oil seed, oleagic fruits, grain, seed, fruits: States with significant agricultural production in these areas: Iowa & Illinois: Leading producers of soybeans and corn (oilseeds and grains). Companies like Bayer Crop Science (seeds), Corteva Agriscience (seeds), ADM, and Cargill are major players.   California: Produces a wide variety of fruits and nuts (oleagic fruits like almonds and walnuts). Companies like Wonderful Company (almonds, pistachios, pomegranates) and various fruit cooperatives are significant. North Dakota & South Dakota: Important producers of oilseeds like sunflowers and canola. Companies involved in processing these include CHS Inc.   Washington & Oregon: Major fruit-producing states (apples, pears, berries). Numerous fruit packing and processing companies operate here.   Animal, vegetable fats and oils, cleavage products: States with meat processing, dairy industries, and vegetable oil production: Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas: Major beef and pork processing states, generating animal fats. Companies like Tyson Foods, JBS, and Cargill have large processing facilities. California & Wisconsin: Leading dairy states producing butterfat. Companies like Land O'Lakes and various regional dairies are present. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio: Involved in soybean oil processing. Companies like ADM and Cargill have oilseed crushing plants.   Articles of apparel, knit or crocheted: The US apparel manufacturing sector has significantly declined, but some production remains, often focused on specialized items or higher-end goods. California: Los Angeles has a Garment District with many smaller apparel manufacturers and contractors.   North Carolina: Has a history in textiles and some remaining apparel production.   New York: New York City also has a Garment District, although smaller than in the past, with some knitwear and specialized apparel manufacturing.   Companies might include smaller design houses that oversee local production or specialized manufacturers (e.g., technical textiles, niche fashion). Identifying large, well-known companies directly competing with basic knitwear imports can be challenging. It's important to note that while these states have the capacity to manufacture similar types of goods, the scale of production, specific types of products, and cost-competitiveness can vary significantly compared to imports from Togo. The US often imports these goods for reasons of cost efficiency, specific product variations, or supply chain considerations.
