| dc.description | East Africa shows in her overseas trade the typical features
of a less developed country: a growing trade deficit, the export of
mainly agricultural commodities and the import of raw materials and
capital goods.
The paper analyses first the pattern of exports since 1964
and its geographical distribution. Despite efforts to diversify trade,
Kenya in 1971 still relied largely on two agricultural crops for her
exports earnings. The import pattern emerging since 1964 shows a healthy
trend away from consumer goods by increasing the share of imported
capital goods including transport equipment. Despite growing levels
of income, the share of consumer goods remained constant since 1964, an
indication of import substitution in this field. | |
