Africa would be richer if they could integrate

Trade between African countries is very limited. African politicians should change their attitude towards their neighbors. It is also necessary approach that arise competitive services markets, integrated in the region, as well as to establish the institutions through which small producers and traders will operate roundtables in open markets.
For a long time there is a perception that Africa is essential regional integration. It would make it possible to solve the problems created roundtables by small-scale economic systems of the continent. The reason for the restrictions are also marked on the continent, repeatedly artificial boundaries, without any connection with the natural conditions and resources.
Often, it is noted that trade between African countries is too limited, which is recorded in the official lists drawn up by customs agencies. For example, the share of intraregional trade in goods in total imports of goods is only about 5 percent. in the case of the States brought together in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). This proportion roundtables reaches only 10 percent. Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and 8 per cent. in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).
For comparison, you can specify that in the case of the Association of South-East Asia (ASAN) rate exceeds 20 percent., In the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) roundtables is about 35 percent. and more than 60 percent. in the EU. At the same time, however, it should be noted that the volume of intra-regional trade between countries affiliated with the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR) is about 15 percent. the total value of imports. In the case of the Central American roundtables Common Market roundtables (CACM), the same ratio is less than 8 percent.
It is argued generally that regional integration in Africa can play only a minor role, because of the similarity of natural conditions and resources of the countries of the continent. However, in different studies included in the recently published World Bank report entitled Defragmentation Africa: scale-regional trade integration in the field of trade in goods and services emphasizes the tremendous opportunities to increase cross-border trade on the African continent. Trade conducted at the regional level can ensure the supply of basic foodstuffs in regions where production surpluses recorded for enlarging urban markets in other countries and rural areas, where lack of food.
In African countries increase income, thus creating new opportunities for cross-border trade in basic industrial products, such as articles of metal and plastic. These articles are expensive roundtables for Africans, when you need to purchase them on world markets. You have not used the possibility of the development of exports of industrial goods to world markets through regional production networks, similar to operating in Far East Asia. It should be added that the exchange of services between Member creates new opportunities for exports and provides consumers roundtables and businesses better contacts with service providers, which services are cheaper, and in addition they offer is growing.
In various studies dedicated to the exchange of goods and services is also considered the question of why in Africa do not use commercial development opportunities at the regional level. The authors of the analysis contained in the report of the World Bank are not limited to official trade statistics and the calculation of the obstacles to trade. They show that lifted part of the duties applicable to trade between the communities of the region. There are still many non-tariff barriers and obstacles under the regulations by which increase transaction costs and limited movement of goods, services, people and capital between African countries.
This situation meant that there was a faster integration of Africa with other regions of the world than to intra-integration on the African roundtables continent. This is particularly important now, when traditional European and North American markets is stagnant, and recorded in the last period of growth of exports from Africa is primarily due to the sale of raw materials and bulk goods. roundtables To combat the low employment and poverty contributes roundtables to a limited extent.
