Swaziland is well positioned to act as your global export base in an increasingly competitive market, where access to raw materials and time to market is crucial in maintaining a global chain supply. Market access from Swaziland is guaranteed as the country is signatory to a number of agreements that ensure duty-free access into regional and international markets.
