Tóm tắt

 There are six principal reasons why the Uruguay Round (UR) is of interest to Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries: it will be a boost to the world economy and to demand
  It covers agriculture for the first time, especially temperate crops
  Non-tariff barriers (NTBs) are critical for Africa, and these are to be abolished
  tariff escalation comes down in the round, encouraging industrialization
  there are potential losses of preferences for African exporters
  and there are new obligations associated with World Trade Organization (WTO) membership. This study, the impact of the Uruguay round on Africa, therefore attempts to measure these different factors to assess their quantitative importance for Africa.
