Abstract
This study examines the characteristics and behaviour of key commodity/product markets and market institutions in Africa and their consequences for economic growth. Their contribution to economic growth appears to have been limited by high transaction costs and weak institutions. Government heavy intervention, persistent shortages of market infrastructure and lack of effective market information system, all contribute to the seemingly high transaction costs in these markets.
