However with the discovery of oil and subsequence export of the product in commercial quantities in the 1970s. the agricultural export fell iron 60 – 70 percent to only 17 percent between 1970s to the mid 1980s. the introduction of the structural adjustment programme (SAP) in 1986 and a policy shift towards support for growth of traditional non-oil exports led to an appreciable increase in export.
