Key Market Indicators
In a remarkable surge, Central African alcoholic drink exports saw a significant increase in 2017, reaching approximately $6,000. This marks a sharp rise from the previous year's figure of around $1,800. The growth rate between 2016 and 2017 was an impressive 239%. However, this recent uptick stands in contrast to a long-term trend. Since 1998, the country's supply of alcoholic beverages for export has been on a decline, diminishing by roughly 18% annually. This latest data offers a complex picture of the Central African Republic's position in the global market for alcoholic drinks.
