Current Economic Environment
Potential access to a substantial transatlantic consumer base Existing Trade Agreements: USA – AGOA, SGP, USAID West Africa – ECOWAS Europe – COTONOU Privileged relationship with Portuguese speaking countries, Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique Cape Verde has one of the highest GDP per capita in the region Currency exchange parity with Euro Portugal acting as guarantor The textile industry benefited from an agreement with the USA under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets. Some companies are changing their export strategy to focus on the US market where duty-free access (for goods of 100% origin) can take place. AGOA has assisted a rapid growth in sales.

African needs Rapid response to emergency situations to be organised
Dedicated facilities Bulk Food storage Chilled storage Perishable products High value items (security conscious) Spare parts for machinery Reduced stock holdings “Just in Time” logistics Food storage, e.g. wheat, other vegetables & fruit Chilled storage, e.g. vaccines, medical products for HIV treatment, etc. High value items (security conscious): Gold, foreign currency reserves, printed notes, etc. Reduced stock holdings such as practised in “Just in Time” logistics
