not able to compete on the integrated
world market. Thus, the Continent
must meet the challenge of up-scaling
its value chain and speeding up
industrialization and private sector
development,
bydiversifying
production and adding value toagricultural, mineral and fisheries
resources, rather than exporting theseresources
asrawmaterials.
Furthermore, the low standards ofAfricanproducts
areamajor
challenge to the promotion of intraAfrican trade.”AU/NEPAD OBJ ECTIVESIN TRADE, INDUSTRY,
