PAPER 2, Q3(c) Explain five factors that have contributed to the high volume of trade between developed and Tropical African countries.

Model answer

High level of technology in developed countries increases trade volume; high level of savings in developed countries makes production cheaper and export easier; colonial ties incline some developing countries toward trade with former colonial masters; differences in import duties between countries; differences in prices of goods (foreign goods often cheaper than local ones); preference for imported goods by countries like Nigeria.
