Résumé : Exports of agricultural products now account for only 1.3% of ail African exports, a long way behind those of oil, gas and ore. They are nevertheless critical for a number of countries, where they exceed 50% of total export value. Heavy dependence on two or three products is the rule in many countries and a source of weakness. The low level of processing for these products remains a challenge at a time when trade partners are diversifying.
