Abstract

This chapter aims to anchor the book in exactly what we mean when we consider Africa’s agricultural trade – from grains and legumes through to fertilisers and tractors – and to establish a model for thinking about the interaction between trade, food security and climate risks in subsequent chapters. It does this by examining Africa’s agricultural exports in the broader context of its trade history. It then focuses on specific commodities such as maize, rice, wheat and fertilisers, which drive agricultural trade.
