Chapter 1. World Agricultural Trade and Africa
Export subsidies, domestic supports and tariffs continue to influence the changing landscape of world agricultural trade. Its evolution during the past two decades (1985-2005) suggests that much global agro-food trade has become less dependent on purely natural resource endowment and moved up along the value chains. In Africa, on the other hand, the agro-food sector has remained largely dependent on land and climatic conditions, though the continent’s agricultural exports have diversified away from bulk commodities to horticulture. |

This Chapter presents a snapshot of the corporate landscape in the agro-food system in Africa based on the analysis of its largest private sector actors, both foreign and domestic. |
