African agricultural trade status report 2017
To maximise the benefits of regional integration and look for new opportunities to improve competitiveness, African policymakers, the private sector and development partners need access to accurate and comprehensive data on intra and inter-regional trade with respect to agricultural goods. It is in this context that the ACP-EU Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) commissioned the African Agricultural Trade Status Report, which examines the current status, trends and outlook in African trade performance, making an important contribution towards data and analysis of developments both at regional and at continental levels.
