Abstract: | Describes the dominant characteristics of the world markets for the major exports of sub-Saharan African countries, which render export expansion by itself unlikely to contribute to higher standards of living for the broad masses of the population. After presenting some propositions with regard to this contention, the author examines some of the evidence for these propositions relating to sub-Saharan Africa's five main exports, four of them agricultural, and one, the most important single export for the area, copper. Scheme of discussion: Export crops and market structure Oligopoly in the copper market - Restructuring African economies. Notes, tables. |
