Abstract

This chapter, on the intra-African food trade, builds upon the synopsis presented in Chapter 2 that situated Africa’s agriculture and food trade in Africa’s overall trade. Intra-African exports are second only to those to the European Union (EU) in importance as a market for exports of food and agricultural commodities and are dominated by trade in food products, while involving less trade in agricultural commodities. In contrast, agricultural commodities comprise a large share of Africa’s agricultural exports to countries in Asia, the Americas and elsewhere in the world. Intra-African trade also includes a large informal component in which trade in food products is correspondingly dominant.
