Addis-Abeba, le 24 octobre 2018 : Après une longue période de stagnation et de déclin économique, les économies africaines ont connu une croissance rapide au cours des deux dernières décennies. La pauvreté et la malnutrition ont diminué de manière constante au cours de cette période. En raison de la détérioration généralisée des moyens de subsistance, une plus longue période de croissance continue sera nécessaire pour sortir les larges segments de la population de leur situation de vulnérabilité.

Trade is an important avenue through which countries transform their economies and raise standards of living. For African countries, trade in agricultural products offers great potential to boost incomes for farmers, processors and other agricultural value chain actors. The 2018 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM), the first in a series of annual reports assesses long-term and emerging trends and drivers of Africa’s global, intra-Africa, and intra-regional economic community trade in agricultural products.

Synopsis: 2013 Annual Trends and Outlook Report

The 2013 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) contributes to the emerging debate by analyzing Africas recent trade performance and future outlook at the global and regional levels, including discussions of the mechanisms of dealing with food price volatility, the scope for increasing trans-border trade, and the potential impacts of weather-related shocks and biophysical factors on intra-regional exports. The ATOR finds that Africas share of world trade of goods and services, and specifically of agricultural goods, made a turnaround and started increasing in the 2000s.
