More about Chad
Business
Since the development of the extensive oil reserves in the south of the country near Doba and the start of production in 2003, the economy of the otherwise resource-poor country has been in a state of upheaval. Up until then, agriculture and the informal sector were the mainstays of the economy, but oil exports now account for more than 90% of export earnings and make a decisive contribution to the state budget with almost two thirds. However, the income is nowhere near enough to improve the living conditions of large parts of the population. In addition, the oil industry is partly in foreign hands (especially North American and Chinese companies) and the world market price for oil has come under great pressure.
Measured in terms of gross national income (GNI) of (2017) US $ 630 per resident, Chad is still one of the poorest countries in the world. In particular, civil war, corruption, a lack of infrastructure and a poorly developed transport system have so far prevented sustainable economic development. The country continues to rely on imports of food and capital goods, foreign investors and international development aid. The foreign debt is (2013) 2.8 billion US $; Because of the intransparent use of oil revenues and the inadequate fight against poverty, Chad is currently suspended from the debt relief program of the IMF and the World Bank. The inflation rate fluctuates, but is relatively low given that it is part of the franc zone (2015: 3.0%);
Foreign trade: Until 2004, Chad’s foreign trade balance was almost entirely negative; Since then, it has been positive due to increasing oil exports (import value 2015: 3.3 billion US $; export value: 4.1 billion US $). In addition to crude oil (share of exports around 97%), cotton is also exported. Mainly machines, automobiles, industrial equipment and food are imported. The most important trading partners are the USA (over four fifths of exports), China and France.
Agriculture
The agricultural sector, in which almost two thirds of the workforce work, generated 52.6% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2014. The main areas of arable farming (largely mobile hacking) are located south of Lake Chad, especially in the floodplains of the Logone and Schari (permanent cultivation there). Cotton is also grown here, mostly in a mixed culture with the staple food millet. In addition, cassava, potatoes and peanuts are the most important foods. Other crops are rice, sugar cane and tobacco. In the dry savannahs of the Sahel zone, grazing is practiced (mainly cattle, sheep and goats).
Forestry: Deforestation reduced the forest to (2013) 4.1% of the land area. Most of the logging is used as firewood; only around 9.4% are industrial sawn timber.
Fisheries: The fishery (catch in 2011: around 60,000 t) in Lake Chad and in the Logone and Schari rivers serves to supply the local population.
Natural resources
In addition to oil production (output 2015: 4.1 million t), one of the main pillars of the economy since 2003, gold, soda ash and salts are extracted to a small extent.
Industry
The share of the manufacturing industry (including the construction industry) in GDP is 15.1% (2014). The manufacturing industry relies on the processing of agricultural products, especially cotton. The most important industrial locations are N’Djamena and Moundou.
Tourism
Tourism plays a marginal role in Chad due to political instability and a lack of infrastructure. The approximately 70,000 foreign visitors are mostly business people.
Transportation
Due to its inland location, frequent interruptions in road connections during the rainy season and the limited navigability of the few waterways, Chad is not adequately developed for traffic. There are no railway lines. Less than 6% of the approximately 40,000 km long road network is paved; the roads in the south can only be used during the dry season. Inland navigation on Lake Chad and the Schari and Logone rivers is only possible during the rainy season. Air traffic is of great importance. The international airport is located near the capital N’Djamena. There are also several smaller airports and landing strips for domestic air traffic.
