Why Trade Collapsed in 2020
Don't anchor on the most recent year. With this much back-and-forth, the latest reading is one data point among several similarly-weighted ones, not the start of a new trend.
This isn't a local trade failure — 2020's disruption to global supply chains and demand hit trade flows broadly, not just here.
Eastern Africa (excluding intra-trade)'s number here, like most in this category, is built from a mix of direct measurement and statistical modeling — reliable for tracking direction, less reliable for pinning down an exact year-to-year figure.
This is a small trade volume in absolute terms — at this scale, a single shipment, buyer, or contract can move the national total by a large percentage. Don't read year-to-year swings here as an economy-wide signal.
