UK beer exports in the 1970s (part three)

Time for another continent. One where exports faded as British influence did. 

All of the destinations in Africa were volatile in terms of how much was imported. The Canary Islands are the only place where the volumes were reasonably constant.

Not sure what was going on in Nigeria. Where imports of UK beer went from fuck all to quite a lot and then fell back to fuck all.

Overall, exports of beer to Africa were in serious decline in the 1970s, other than that weird bump in sales to Nigeria.
