Traders Profile

This chapter provides the profile of the interviewed traders. It shows that the enterprises were held back by a weak productive capacity, with the majority selling a narrow range of products to a few countries. Only a limited segment was involved in production activities, and were predominantly labour-intensive. The enterprises were also struggling to maintain their operations in the face of the dwindling demand for their products under the weight of the economic recession that has been engulfing their export markets and the increased competition from imports.
