Since 2000, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) has provided incentives for African countries to become more globally competitive by making economic and commercial reforms. The main incentive is the opportunity to export goods, from a list of over 9,000 qualifying items, to the US without paying import tax. This opportunity has the potential to significantly boost trade between Africa and the US and to fuel innovation and job creation in Africa. To take advantage of the AGOA opportunity, African companies must improve their products and connect with US buyers. Echotex Advisors has been at the forefront of AGOA since the early days and for the future. AGOA implementation projects, AGOA Export Strategies are at the core of ECHOTEX consultants expertise.
