Abstract: Abstract A perusal of the literature has shown that trade agreements have different impact on countries due to their level of development, especially in trade potentials. There have been some trade agreements between Africa and India, a south–south trade relation, which are accompanied with outcomes that are based on output, macroeconomic stability and compliant with the agreements reached at different point in time. This study examines the effects of Africa’s trade agreements with India on Africa’s exports. This study found that trade agreements in this trade relation is marginally trade enhancing and it is also discovered that the restrictiveness of Indian trade policy does not debar exports from Africa from accessing the market, however, the non-tariff barrier are more pronounced than the tariff barriers.
