Declines in world commodity prices have emphasized the need in Africa for diversification away from a few agricultural exports. Market reforms are not enough.

The features include very high transfer costs from West African ports to producing and consuming points, the need to t [...]

 Trade reform in ten sub-Saharan African countries: Achievements and failures / Foroutan, Faezeh

The author summarizes the experience of ten sub-Saharan countries with trade reform. Trade reform is broad [...]

 Cereals protection and agricultural development strategy in the Sahel / Delgado, Christopher L.
The stagnation of Sahelian agriculture under seemingly unchangeable exchange rates has led to calls for supporting growth and food security through protection of cereals. It is argued that this will harm both objectives by ignoring the true comparative advantage of large parts of the region in livestock and other exports to the coast. High cereals [...]
