Markets & Trade
Under the 2014 Malabo Declaration, African Leaders acknowledged the importance of regional trade, and committed to tripling intra-African trade in agricultural goods and services by 2025. To support progress towards this goal, ReNAPRI’s member institutes provide empirical analysis and policy recommendations in the areas of regional trade barriers, value-chain and market analysis and policy impact assessment.
