"American businesses want AGOA reauthorised. Regardless of sector, they've made that very clear," British Robinson, who heads the U.S. administration's Prosper Africa initiative, told Reuters on the sidelines of the meetings. " extremely important. That's what they've told us," she said, adding that the programme's future was ultimately in the hands of the U.S. Congress. "We don't have control over that."

"But we believe the principal consideration must be ensuring a successful and timely reauthorisation," they said in a statement.
