Abstract

This chapter reviews results from the literature to discuss issues of GM product use, export risk management, and regional integration in Africa. The next section focuses on possible export risks associated with the use of GM crops outside of the region, and the subsequent section discusses the increas¬ing role of regional harmonization schemes. The chapter concludes with some policy lessons.
