'Trading Up' documentary on BBC World ServiceTwo East African countries have built billion dollar businesses from small-scale suppliersStefano Ponte provided research support for a new radio and TV documentary which will be aired by the BBC World Service in the period from 11 to 18 October, 2009. Trading Up By Susie Emmett WRENmedia Ltd If ‘trade not aid’ is the new mantra for development how can developing countries trade up in the global market – and stay up? In this two part Discovery series “Trading Up”, Susie Emmett investigates how two East African countries have built billion dollar businesses based on what small-scale entrepreneurs can supply. By following fine French beans from fields of upland Kenya and fresh chilled fillets of fish pulled from Lake Victoria, this series investigates what these billion dollar industries do to overcome some serious threats to continued success. The stakes are high. Failure now would destroy the livelihoods of millions. 1.
