Here is the second web page about the"Francophonie". We chose to present, hereby, the main daily aspects of member and associated states. Thus, data on industrial and agricultural productions in each of the countries are available and so are matters related to their exportations.

Everywhere in the francophone world, there are strong agricultural and industrial potentialities. Regarding the development factors of each of the countries, you may see they have been doing their best for their people's welfare

Natural wealth of those countries is a matter o fact (see data below). There are real basic potentialities.

Still, let us remind the capacities of those countries in the field of international trade focused by a great diversity of exportations.

So, this is our web page about the "Francophonie" for May. We hope it will help for a better knowledge of its member countries, notably of the African continent which is strongly represented in the organization. Further aspects about the "Francophonie" will be presented in June.
