Frequently asked questions

Using the Machinery and electrical equipment export playbook

Practical guidance for interpreting sector scale, growth, product breadth, and buyer markets.

How strong is Guinea-Bissau in this sector?

Compare sector exports, product breadth, buyer markets, growth, and global demand. These signals identify research priorities rather than guarantee market access.

What are growth stars?

Products with higher average reported growth in the screened rows. Validate the time period, base effects, buyer demand, and current exporter position.

What does diversification mean here?

Products reaching more buyer markets in the screened data. Destination breadth is useful context but does not replace concentration, route, or buyer analysis.
