Transnational corporation in the cotton industry in Sudan

African countries feature among the top five producers of many important products: these include agricultural commodities such as cocoa beans (Ghana, Nigeria, the Ivory Coast), coffee (the ivory Coast, Angola), palm oil (Nigeria, Zaire, the Ivory coast) groundnuts (Senegal, Nigeria) and tea (Kenya); and manganese (Gabon). African producers of these commodities enjoy considerable influence over their markets, especially where the share of the top five producing countries in total world production is high, as indices of concentration indicate in the case of phosphate rock, palm oil, cocoa beans, tea and managanese are (all above 75 percent).
