The African Industry
The industry in Africa is characterized by the mining of ore and the extraction of fuels. There are hardly any processing industries in Africa. This was developed in the countries to which Africa exports.
Most of the industrial centers are to be found in South Africa, shaped by the continent’s raw material deposits.
A textile and light industry as well as a building materials industry developed in the Ivory Coast region.
Other areas of the industrial sector, such as the food or consumer goods industry, are based exclusively on the local market. Fishing in inland waters and sea fishing on all coasts of Africa serve to meet our own needs.
In other African countries, production is concentrated on the manufacture of shoes, bicycles and textiles.
In some West African countries, the timber industry gained in importance. The cultivation of okume, which is a soft type of wood from which veneers are made, for example, plays an important role.
Overall, there is a lack of foreign currency in Africa in order to be able to expand industrialization across all African countries.
Services in Africa
If you want to take a closer look at the service sector in Africa, you first have to think about which services could be of particular importance for Africa. On the one hand there is the transport system, on the other hand banking, education and health care.
Inadequate transport systems represent an additional obstacle to economic development in African countries. The existing road networks consist of unpaved roads that cannot be used during the rainy season. There were also plans to expand the rail network. However, these plans failed because of natural obstacles that are difficult to overcome. In addition, difficulties arose in standardizing the gauges. In addition, some feet are not passable because of the rapids. Air traffic has been gaining in importance recently. It is used especially for freight traffic.
