A new study from Supply Chain Africa (a digital media platform that aims at advancing African supply chains byshedding light on supply chain stories, best practices and models for change), analyses how the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will impact global supply chains through the increase of intra-African trade and foreign direct investment. This is not the first study of this type. Already the International Trade Centre (ITC) issued a report, elaborated in close collaboration with the African Union Commission and the European Commission, that identified 94 value chains where African countries have a comparative advantage or high export potential that can spur industrialization.
