Much has been said and debated about the EPAs, but will it have any negative effects in the country’s economy? During the seminar on the Implications of Trade Agreements on Business, it came out the EPA will now make it possible for EU produce to enter the Swazi market and therefore compete on an equal footing with local entrepreneurs. It was also revealed that Swaziland will be forced to open up her market to foreign EU exports as a result of an EPA. This will have a devastating impact on local industries to the extent that they would have to adjust due to competition.
