China's zero-tariff policy for goods imported from 53 African countries with which it maintains diplomatic ties is expected to boost Africa's economy and offer the continent a benchmark to seek equal or better terms from other trading partners, say leaders and experts.

Addressing a recent event in Accra, the capital of Ghana, Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama commended China's zero-tariff policy as a "unique opportunity" for Africa to expand exports and strengthen resilience. He urged African countries to strategically position themselves in global supply chains by studying China's import patterns, particularly in the field of agriculture.

"China, with zero tariff, is an incentive for us to export into the Chinese market. We need to look at the items that China imports and see where we have comparative advantage to be able to take up those imports," Mahama said.
