A2 Macroeconomics: How infrastructure supports East Africa's coffee trade

In this video by the World Bank, we are shown how infrastructure such as roads and ports are vital for trade. Coffee is taken by road from farmers to central warehouses and then loaded into containers and transported to the sea port by lorry. Here, it can take several days for the cargo to be processed which can create a bottleneck and so reduce efficiency, and export competitiveness.
