Africa industrialisation fact of the day

But Africa has not managed to take part fully in industrialization, a failure that has caused it to lag behind the rest of the developing world since the 1970s. In 2015, all of Sub-Saharan Africa exported only as much apparel as tiny El Salvador.
Given that textiles offers the most commoditizable employment for large-scale manufacturing labor, this is deeply disturbing.
