The African countries of Niger and Cote D'Ivoire have become the latest to join the U.S. African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a preferential textile trade agreement, following a determination by the U.S. Trade Representative that the two have developed effective visa systems.

More than 20 African nations are participating in the AGOA.
