Résumé / Abstract
Freight tarifs in a number of African countries have been found to be between four and six times the levels found in Pakistan. This paper examines how the differences in input costs, taxation, profitability and vehicle productivity contribute to the differences in tarifs. Some suggestions are made to indicate how these differences have arisen.
