Global Trade Patterns, Competitiveness and Growth Outlook
• Limited Product Diversification (Kose and Riezman,
2001; Songwe and Winkler, 2012)
• However within the agricultural sector, increasing
product diversification
• 2000: the top 10 HS6 agricultural products exported by Africa =
51% of total
• coffee, sugar, tea, cotton, wine and grapes, oranges, and cut
flowers
• 2005-2010: the top 10 HS6 agricultural products exported by
Africa = 40% of total
• cocoa, coffee, cotton, cashew nuts, oranges, tobacco, tea, and cut
flowers
Page 8
Global Trade Patterns, Competitiveness and Growth Outlook
• Constant concentration on the import side
• Over time 10 products = 70% of calorie content and 46%
of the value of agricultural imports
• wheat (durum and soft),
• sugar (refined),
• rice (broken, semi-milled),
• corn,
• milk powder,
• sunflower oil (replaced by soybean oil),
• soybean meal (for livestock consumption)
Page 9
Global Trade Patterns, Competitiveness and Growth Outlook
• Agricultural Trade Competitiveness
• Decomposition of African countries’ global market share
over the period 1995-2007
• i) geographical specialization effect,
• ii) sectoral specialization effect,
• iii) a domestic performance effect (or competitiveness effect).
• Methodology from Cheptea, Fontagné and Zignago
(2014)

Global Trade Patterns, Competitiveness and Growth Outlook
• Outlook for Africa’s Trade Growth: 2013 to 2030
• Evaluation based on MIRAGRODEP
• Multi-country multi-sector CGEM
• Perfect competition
• Recursive dynamics
• Exogenous changes in active population
• GDP projection
• Baseline : 2013 to 2030
• Scenario: reduction by 50% of worldwide agricultural
import duties

Global Trade Patterns, Competitiveness and Growth Outlook
• Concluding remarks
• Africa’s share of world ag. trade on an increasing trend
since the early 2000s
• But African agricultural deficit is increasing
• In terms of nutritional content, imports of proteins have
increased faster than imports of fats and kilocalories
• Africa experienced a slight diversification in its
agricultural exports since the 2000s
Page 17
Global Trade Patterns, Competitiveness and Growth Outlook
• Concluding remarks
• Simulation results:
• Between 2013 and 2030, Africa’s agricultural trade
will continue to expand.
• Increase of Afr. exports of cash crops, vegetable and
fruits, and fibers,
• Imports of cereals, meat and meat products, dairy
products, processed food, and beverages and
tobacco would also increase.
