MALI

Global Trade Volume of Mali

Malian, a fund-based economy, is also a major player in cotton and gold exports. Approximately 90% of its exports are made of gold and cotton products. Malian, the third largest producer of gold in Africa, is also very susceptible to fluctuations in international gold prices. Because most of the country’s land is desert, agricultural production is made at the Niger River Delta. 80% of the population working in Mali is engaged in agriculture and fresh water fishing. Among the main agricultural products are cotton, grain, peanuts, rice, sugar cane and various fruits and vegetables. Another branch of the economy is animal husbandry.

Agriculture, animal husbandry, mining and aquaculture production is thought to be the future of Malian. The basis of the Malian economy is cotton, gold exports and oil imports. While international gold and cotton prices have a positive impact on the economy, oil prices have a negative impact on the country’s economy.

Among the main targets of the governments in the economy are not tied to the export of cotton and gold, but also to the contribution of the industrial sector to the economy. Thanks to the economic reforms implemented in the country, many public institutions have been privatised and telecommunication, oil mills and cotton enterprises have been privatized.
