Normal industry not entirely evident in African country (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mali

'african country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'normal industry not entirely' is the wordplay.
'not entirely' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MALI' is hidden in the letters of 'normal industry'.

'evident in' is the link.

(Other definitions for mali that I've seen before include "Send mail out to Africa" , "Country of West Africa" , "Land" , "African country, former French colony" , "W. African country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
