How does Tsevie compare with other major towns in southern Togo?

Tsevie is an important town in southern Togo, serving as a center for palm oil processing and a significant market for regional trade. It is located about 20 miles north of the national capital, Lome, and is connected by road and rail to other towns like Notse, Atakpame, and Blitta.1

While Lome is the largest urban center in Togo, Tsevie is noted as one of the main towns alongside others like Aneho, Tabligbo, Kpalime, Atakpame, Sokode, Bassar, Kara, Mango, and Dapaong. Sokode is Togo's second-largest town and a major commercial hub, with a population of over 100,000, significantly larger than Tsevie's estimated population of 46,900 in 2005. Aneho, another coastal town, was once a leading European trade center but is now in decline.231
