| NOTES: |
The last decade has witne3ssed a steady decline in the dollar values of many of the traditonal agricultural expor corps (TAEs) from developing countries and has highlighted the risks of depending upon a very narrow export base for foreign exchange earnings. The report provides detailed statistical data on trends in the export of NTAE's during the ten-year period 1992-2001, both in volume and value tems, analyses the contribution of developing countries and least-developed countries (LDCs) to trade in NTAEs and identifies the leading developing country exporters. |
