摘要：The Sub-Saharan African countries could benefit more from participation in the next
round of trade negotiations than they did in the last Uruguay Round if they improve their overall
economic competitiveness. This could allow them to increase foreign market access for
export goods in which they have a comparative advantage and for traditional export commodities.
They also could make potentially significant gains if they are able to reduce foreign tariff
escalation on value-added goods that they could process in their home countries. These countries
also will need to continue monitoring food security issues related to the availability of food
aid and the growth and volatility of prices of staple import commodities. Finally, Sub-Saharan
African domestic reforms could have more impact than trade reform. The countries will benefit
by using the international trading system to help re-enforce domestic policy reforms.
