Why Trade Collapsed in 2020
This chart doesn't support a simple narrative. It moves up, it moves down — pick any two years and you can tell almost any story you want. Look at the whole series, not a slice of it.
This isn't a local trade failure — 2020's disruption to global supply chains and demand hit trade flows broadly, not just here.
This series reflects Eastern Africa (excluding intra-trade)'s official reporting via the linked source. Statistics of this kind are typically benchmarked against periodic censuses or surveys, with intervening years estimated.
The source simply doesn't have a reading for every year in this range — the 2016-to-2019 jump skips real missing years, worth keeping in mind before assuming a smooth path between them.
Small absolute numbers like these amplify percentage swings — the same-sized change in volume looks dramatic as a percentage here in a way it wouldn't for a bigger trade flow. Read the raw numbers, not just the percent.
