Presents findings of the comparative Cost of Production (COP) in the East African study, which was carried out for United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for the Regional Office for East and Southern Africa (REDSCO). The study examines maize, beans, coffee, potatoes and textiles in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. This is so as to collect and analyse data on costs of production in agriculture and the textile manufacturing industry to find out whether each country can competitively export these commodities to regional and world markets. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used. Suggestions on how the least competitive countries can lessen their costs and improve their competitiveness are given.
