The paper presents the results of an econometric investigation which shows that exports in general, and agricultural exports in particular, are responsive to price incentives in sub- Saharan Africa. It is further shown that, within sub-Saharan Africa, market-oriented countries generally gained, and interventionist countries lost, export market shares. The differences in export performance are even greater if comparisons are made between private market economies and étatist countries in a three-fold classification scheme that puts some countries in an intermediate category
