Time to take some cyberspace porch monkeys to school
First year of AGOA – January to December 2001
South Africa has increased its total exports to the United States by 5% in 2001 compared to 2000 – from $4,2 billion to $4,43 billion. The largest category of exports was in the area of precious metals and stones, such as platinum, diamonds and gold. These products are already duty-free under the US tariff code on a most favoured nation (MFN) basis and thus are not affected by AGOA.
The total amount of AGOA exports from South Africa in 2001 was $923 million, of which $506 million represented normal GSP products and $417 million reflected the new products added by AGOA. AGOA exports were recorded in just about every major industry sector, including automobiles, iron and steel, clothing, chemicals and food products. These exports represented about 21% of South Africa’s total exports in 2001. In comparison, South Africa exported a total of $583 million in duty-free GSP products to the United States in 2000, or less than 14% of total exports.
The following are examples of major “new” products exported duty-free to the US since 2001 (items added on the extended list of 1 834 products by the introduction of AGOA). The values in brackets are the total duty-free exports of these products to the US during 2001:
Vehicles ($289 million), iron and steel and products of iron and steel ($234 million), articles of apparel ($31 million), edible fruits and nuts ($28 million), beverages and spirits ($16,1 million), preparations of vegetables, fruit and nuts ($7 million) and essential oils ($4 million).
South Africa started exporting apparel under AGOA at the end of March 2001. During the 9-month period ending in December 2001, 1 102 apparel shipments with a value of $31 million entered the US market duty-free (around $4 million per month) with an AGOA visa out of a total of $173 million South African apparel exports to the United States in 2001. Thus, approximately 18% of apparel products exported during 2001 were shipped with an AGOA visa.

I'm not impressed, chrishayden. South Africa is comparable to Europe. Everybody knows the African continent is rich in resources but to cite South Africa as an positive example is comparable to giving credit to the white record moguls who you snivel about controlling the black music industry. |

And you've been to the moon, too, haven't you "enchanted". You can go anywhere and be anybody your puppet master conjures up. Does the USA import all of these things you mention from Africa? |

They import plenty of textiles, shoes, clothing--see Massa told old Granny that everything in the world she saw came from him and she believes it.
By the way, I still only scratched the surface. That stuff is hard to google up and lots of it, say you try to google up a specific country, and its hidden. Just like timber imports from Liberia |

(What European country has the same proportion of Africans to Europeans (with Africans in the vast majority) as South Africa.
South Africa is a majority black country.
You are destroying your standing on the board. Give up or confess your error.

Poor chrishayen is so clueless about the troll element on this board, and he might as well be speaking in "enchanted''s vernacular because he is as jerked around as she is. The black population of South Africa was and is under the control of white Europeans who reaped all of the profits from what the country exports. I repeat I am not impressed. |

"I speak English fine I'm not a good typist and stpped caring a year back you always know what my post is sayign."
Nawww......I don't think so. Your English speaking abilities may be fine, but the writing........well, that's another matter. I make typos, syntax and grammar errors too. We all do at some point. I don't have problem with that. But sometimes it's somewhat difficult to understand what you are trying to say. Yes, I can figure out. But saying it's typo's???I seriously doubt that.
I have a friend whose ability to speak English is fine -but her writing skills are horrific. So I have to write things to her in Spanish. No problem. That's why I asked you if English was your first language (which you never answered). I'm not criticizing you. I was just curious. That's all......

On certain items, I really wonder how much cheaper it is to have things imported. For instance, importing peanuts from west Africa.....I don't have a problem with it and I love that it's giving jobs to them, but we grow a LOT of peanuts in the south.
I was very surprised also when looking at a package of frozen shrimp in the grocery store to find out that it had been imported from THAILAND. Anyone living or having had lived near water and had friends who fished? There is plenty of shrimp here, much of it is even fished ACCIDENTALLY by people wanting to fish for trout and other fish. |

You don't have to be a good typist to post coherence comments, "enchanted." If you can talk, you can type. All you have to do is do what most people do nowadays: use the hunt and peck method and then proof read what you've written. Any reasonably intelligent person can do this. Your phony sytax and misspellings are all just a part of your tiresome charade because sometimes you forget yourself and express yourself normally especially when you want to make sure your point gets across. |

It has never been my intent to impress a loser like you, chrishayden. You are the who, in one seeking to bowl everybody over, never makes a strike. (and your scattered brain still can't put things in context.) |
