		A complete package would bring benefits of up to $8 billion a year for the economies of the 50 least developed countries, with $6.4 billion of that attributable to increased exports, said Anwarul Karim Chowdhury, UN under secretary-general for least developed countries, which have a per capita income of less than $750.
		Chowdhury noted that many of the world's poorest countries, most of them in Africa, have no tradable products for Western markets and urged richer nations to increase so-called "aid-for-trade" donations - money meant to help developing countries to strengthen their trading capabilities.
		Some least developed countries are particularly vulnerable and Chowdhury urged greater protection for those which have no access to the sea, as transporting goods to ports makes their exports up to 50 percent more expensive when they reach developed country markets.
