Key Information Sheets

This series of Information Sheets provides a summary of market changes taking place at national level within key high value agrifood commodity chains in Africa. The intention is to serve as a point for public sector, donor and private sector discussions with particular focus on securing and improving income among the rural poor through their participation in new and dynamic markets. These sheets were alos used as a key resource for a regional workshop held in Zambia in May 2007. A copy of the workshop report is also available.
