THE SADC EPA: HOW CAN THE AGREEMENT CONTRIBUTE TO LESOTHO’S AGRICULTURE AND AGRO-PROCESSING SECTOR DEVELOPMENT?
This policy briefing examines how the EU–SADC Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), which entered into force in October 2016, can be leveraged to develop Lesotho's agriculture and agro-processing sectors. While the EPA provides tariff preferences and an EUR 6 million development envelope, Lesotho struggles with low production volumes and stringent EU standards. The author recommends that Lesotho integrate into South African value chains as a stepping stone to the EU market and improve coordination between government and donor programs.
