Resumo(s)
This study examines the agricultural sector in São Tomé and Príncipe, with a focus on the
commercial development of its SMEs. The country faces constraints that prevent their products
from accessing international markets. Combining interviews with relevant stakeholders and a
benchmark of best policies using Mauritius as a case study, the paper first provides policy
options in three main areas, namely access to finance, distribution channels and technology and
innovation, followed by three practical policy recommendations: (i) to create incentives for
cooperative development; (ii) to provide holistic business services with one-stop-shops; and (iii)
to implement trade departments in diplomatic institutions. These policies are expected to provide
a favorable environment for agri-business growth and facilitate access to international markets.
