| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to assess the role of Board of External Trade (BET) in facilitating the export of agricultural products geared to attain an export lead economy. The study examined the strategic mission of what BET has done and how far it has been realised and how much has been exported in those years. The analysis was carried out by reviewing official field reports of the implemented.tasks that illustrate participant involvement, as well as investigating the types of export product. quantities and values. Descriptive statistics were used to provide empirical evidence on the attained performance and trend analysis to show the importance of the organisation. The export growth rate in agricultural products quantity was 44.5% form 1980 while export values rate were 0.67%. However, the net export volume was 139,855 metric tonnes and the export value has negative balance of 1.7 millions of USD. The increase of export goods not only resulted from increase in product types but also in the improved economic and trade policies in the late years. However, the value of traded agricultural goods was not enough to lead the economy as global trade policies effect outpace the domestic effort on trade policy strategies. Therefore, strategic reforms are required not only in the functioning approaches but also work in coordination with public - private joint venture in cooperating business councils of rural entrepreneurs in creating a large demand base that could support export of agricultural products. | |
