Africa does not celebrate Valentines Day, except for the urban families in Africa. However, Africa contributes to America's Valentine Day every year. They send over 70% of cocoa to the United States in order to make a number of foods that includes chocolate for lover's day.
And let's not forget about flowers. Ethiopia export flowers to the United States and they went from making less than 1 million dollars to 190 million dollars exporting flowers to United States.
Africa plays a part in this huge day for Westerners every year. Let's remember them each time we celebrate Africa.
