12 AGOA in 2015 Swaziland failed to meet AGOA standards and has been declared ineligible as of 2015 Madagascar declared fully re-eligible as of 2015 At its peak in 2008, textile and apparel production in Madagascar was 2x that of Swaziland Madagascar: $315,000,000 Swaziland: $175,000,000 Loss of Swaziland production offset by opportunities in Madagascar
13 The Future of AGOA One decade to develop robust and permanent industries and supply chains Only scratched the surface of what is possible GOALS Quadruple non-resource production $4 billion in textile and apparel exports by 2025
14 The Future of AGOA Problem: AGOA has been underutilized Non-energy AGOA share of per capita income was less than 0.01% for 27 out of 37 countries Only 4 countries achieved a per capita value >$10 for non-energy AGOA exports Mauritius, Lesotho, Swaziland, South Africa The countries that focused on textile and apparel production have benefitted the most
15 Duty Free Access 16 countries are both AGOA eligible and possess an Everything But Arms (EBA) agreement with the EU Retailers can serve both markets duty free from a single location Sourcing to 50% of the global apparel market from a single location Average apparel duty saving of 16% in the US and 12% in the EU Quadrupling production would result in an additional $480,000,000 in duty savings to the US and $14,400,000 in duty savings to the EU
16 AGOA & EBA Countries 16 Countries Eligible for Both Botswana Cameroon Cape Verde Cote d'ivoire Ghana Kenya Mauritius Namibia Niger South Africa* *South Africa does not qualify as an LDBC and is ineligible for 3 rd party fabric provision
