农业部门在非洲是最重要的经济活动之一。尽管很多农产品是以自给自足或供本地消费为主，但非洲的农产品出口到全球市场也有着强劲增长。
非洲的国际农产品出口包括柑橘类产品、谷物、坚果、鱼类、烟草、可可、咖啡、饮料、糖、蔬菜、水果等多个农产品类别。这些产品可以在世界各地的货架上找到，并作为进一步加工的原材料使用。
在美国出口方面，非洲增长和机会法案（AGOA）受益国在2022年出口了总价值29亿美元的农产品，而2000年时这个数字为7.5亿美元。然而，大部分贸易仍然是在正常关税关系下进行的，要么是因为产品不符合AGOA/GSP的资格，要么是因为产品进入美国时已经免税。
2022年，从AGOA受益国向美国出口的符合AGOA/GSP要求的农产品约为9.32亿美元（总农产品总额的32%），其余大部分贸易按照正常关税条款免税。
几乎所有的AGOA受益国在2022年向美国出口了一些农产品，其中有17个国家在该年出口的农产品价值超过1百万美元，其中有5个国家的农产品出口额超过5千万美元。在AGOA/GSP偏好贸易中，主要出口国包括南非（2023年：4.46亿美元）、科特迪瓦（2022年：1.27亿美元）、加纳（2023年：8600万美元）、肯尼亚（2023年：7800万美元）和塞内加尔（2023年：7000万美元）。
在AGOA/GSP偏好贸易中出口的主要产品包括柑橘类水果（主要是橙子和柑桔）、葡萄、坚果（包括夏威夷果）、新鲜蔬菜、木薯和辣椒。
The agriculture sector forms one of the most important economic activities in Africa. While much of agricultural production is subsistence-based or for local consumption, there has been strong growth in agriculture products being exported globally.
Africa’s international agriculture exports include citrus products, grains, nuts, fish, tobacco, cocoa, coffee, beverages, sugar, vegetables, fruit and many other agriculture categories. These can be found on shelves in all corners of the world, and used as inputs in further processed goods.
In terms of US exports, AGOA beneficiaries exported a combined $2.9 billion worth of agriculture products during 2022, up from $750 million in 2000. However, the majority of trade continues to take place under normal tariff relations, either because products do not qualify under AGOA/GSP or because products are already free of duty when entering the US.
In 2022, approximately $932m (of $2,9 billion total agricultural products) in qualifying AGOA/GSP agriculture products were shipped to the US from AGOA beneficiaries. The AGOA preference trade represented just short of 32% of total agriculture products from AGOA beneficiaries to the US, with most of the remaining trade duty-free under normal tariff terms.
Almost all AGOA beneficiaries recorded some agricultural exports to the US under AGOA during 2022, with 17 countries exporting agricultural goods under AGOA worth more than $1m during the year, and 5 whose agricultural exports under AGOA preference exceeded $50m each. Leading exporters under AGOA preference are South Africa (2023: $446m), Cote d’Ivoire (2022: $127m), Ghana (2023: $86m), Kenya (2023: $78m), and Senegal (2023: $70m).
Key products exported under AGOA/GSP preference are citrus fruit (mainly oranges and mandarins), grapes, nuts (including macademia), fresh vegetables, cassava and peppers.
