Description

Informal Cross-Border Trade is a major economic activity in Africa. It serves as a major source of income for about 43% of Africa’s population, and provides employment for up to 75% of the active labor force. But what exactly do we mean when we talk about informal cross-border trade?



In this podcast, we will discuss the trade practices of individuals or groups who move goods across borders while fully or partially avoiding border controls and the payment of customs duties and other taxes. 



To tell us more about the sociocultural aspect of informal cross-border trade, we have invited Dr. Thomas Hüsken, an associate professor at the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Bayreuth.
