From the supplier: Sub-Saharan Africa's importance in international trade has declined considerably since the mid-1950s. Its exports accounted for only 1.2% of world exports in 1990, down from 3.1% in 1955. This decline is due partly to the falling demand for the region's major export products in the world market, and partly to a considerable erosion of sub-Sahara Africa's market share. Analysis indicates that trade barriers have not played a substantial role in the marginalization of the region in world trade. In fact, the trade preferences of industrial nations made export market access conditions more favorable for sub-Sahara African countries than for exporters in many other countries. It is suggested that the deterioration of the region's export sector is the result of the countries' own trade and transport policies, which incorporate a substantial anti-export bias.
