CHAPTER V: LEADING SECTORS FOR U.S. EXPORTS AND INVESTMENT
A. BEST PROSPECTS FOR NON-AGRICULTURAL GOODS AND SERVICES
THE MARKETING AND SALE OF RELATIVELY LOW-VALUE PRODUCTS SUCH AS USED CLOTHING, USED CARS, AND USED EQUIPMENT IS VIABLE. THERE IS A MARKET FOR U.S. CONSUMER GOODS SUCH AS TOILETRIES, HAIR PRODUCTS, AND OTHER PERSONAL CARE ITEMS. U.S. PRODUCTS ARE GENERALLY PREFERRED. THE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATE LIMITS CONSUMER PURCHASES.
B. BEST PROSPECTS FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
AS AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION INCREASES IN POST-CONFLICT LIBERIA, THE MARKET FOR PESTICIDES AND CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS SHOULD ALSO INCREASE.
