ABSTRACT

This report focuses on Nigeria, as a case study within the context of an Africa-wide analysis of new technologies and export-oriented growth. The introductory section provides information on the structural composition of the economy, the composition and destination of exports, the relationship between the economic environment and industrial policies and export incentives and institutions. This is followed by three sections giving the results of a survey of three major manufacturing sub-sectors which engage in exporting: textiles, brewing, and food and beverages.
