Foreign trade statistics for Africa = Statistiques Africaines du commerce extérieur

Abstract

Series B, "Trade by Commodity", is a companion of Series A, "Direction 01 Trade", and provides cumulative half-yearly data on African commodity trade according to the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), Revised", by region and by countries of provenance and destination in thousand US dollars. Imports and exports are analyzed by section, groups or sub-groups. The items shown are based on data furnished by individual reporting countries and territories in the form of publications or tabulation listings. Due to rounding and discrepancies in the source materials and to the exclusion of gold in Series B, the figures in Series A and B do not always coincide.
