The matter was referred to the World Bank for further analysis which is presented in this report. Potential for increased agricultural exports from APEI+ countries to Mauritius and Seychelles does exist but is smaller than headline numbers suggest. Approximately US$100 million in untapped potential is hampered by high regional transport cost and unlikely to materialize soon. An additional US$35 million of untapped trade potential is in products with high sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) risks, which pose a serious, though not insurmountable obstacle to regional trade. Among the remaining US$110 million in untapped potential are products such as pulses, nuts and seeds, honey, and dried chili pepper that are less affected by high transport costs and SPS risks. 2020-01-10T18:38:52Z 2020-01-10T18:38:52Z 2019-06-20 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/152381575301317741/Main-Report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33161 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Commodities Study Africa Madagascar Malawi Mauritius Mozambique Seychelles Zambia
