Le rapport s’articule autour de six chapitres. Après une description générale au chapitre 1, vient le chapitre 2 consacré à la performance commerciale de l’Afrique sur les marchés mondiaux. Les chapitres 3 et 4 portent respectivement sur la mesure de l’intégration commerciale régionale et la compétitivité des chaînes de valeur agricoles en Afrique. Au chapitre 5, les auteurs se penchent sur le thème principal du rapport de 2019, à savoir les effets que les bouleversements en cours dans le système commercial mondial pourraient avoir sur les économies africaines.

Following on from the first Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM) released in 2018, the 2019 report is the second flagship document to assess the emerging and long-term trends and drivers behind Africa’s regional and global trade in agricultural products.
