 The goal of this presentation is to review the current state of value chains and production across African borders. More specifically, the presentation explores the role of regionalism in value chain development and examines ways to expand its most valuable aspects.

 Building more robust value chains in Africa is critical for transforming raw materials into finished products, encouraging industrialization, and moving African economies beyond their peripheral position.

A. The value chain framework and development in Africa According to Hellin and Meijer (2006: 4), “A value chain can be defined as the full range of activities which are required to bring a product or service from conception, through the different phases of production (involving a combination of physical transformation and the input of various producer services), delivery to final customers, and final disposal after use.”

Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA)’s value chain approach for agricultural products

 Value chain literature in economics and business vs. social science scholarship on commodity chains

 Regional economic integration typically focuses on removing barriers to free trade and increasing the movement of people, labor, goods, and capital across national borders. It may also involve strategic investments in economic development initiatives that benefit multiple national stakeholders (Ndulu 2006).

 Agglomeration  Specialization & “Flying geese paradigm”

 A. Example of internally oriented regional value chain opportunity (rice in West Africa)  B. Example of externally oriented regional value chain 0pportunity (Cacoa in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire)

 Corridor approach (w/ figure of Idealized Development Corridor Configuration)

 Regional Economic Communities  Private Firms  Labor Unions

 Pool resources to engage in regionally relevant research and development (including some shared tertiary education resources)  Establishment of one-stop border posts  Transformation of agricultural products is often more economical at the regional scale
