记者27日从广州海关获悉，今年1至2月，广东对非洲进出口贸易总值为74.7亿美元，比去年同期增长68.3%，海关部门称，非洲已成为全球经济增长最快的地区之一，而广东对非洲的优势能源资源性产品的需求也持续增加，双方经贸合作潜力巨大。

Guangzhou (CNS) -- Total trade volume between Guangdong and Africa increased 68.3 percent in the first two months of 2012 compared to the same period last year, according to Guangzhou Customs on Wednesday.

Trade volume between the south China province and African nations reached US$7.47 billion in the two months.

Guangdong's demand for energy products and resources imported from Africa has been on the increase, while traditional manufacturing products from Guangdong meet demand from African markets.

Among all African countries, South Africa contributed the most to the increased trade volume. Between January and February, the total export and import volume between Guangdong and South Africa reached US$5.3 billion, accounting for 71 percent of the total.

South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt are now the three top trade partners of Guangdong in Africa.
