**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statistical table detailing the import composition of various countries in Africa, with a focus on the percentage of total imports by commodity section (food, beverages, and tobacco; raw materials; and fuels) in 1974, 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979. The table also includes data on manufactured goods imports. Given the focus on trade and commodity composition, it is likely that the text is related to international trade or economic development.
