In relation to the size of the Swaziland economy, the impact of the project will be significant. At full development it is estimated that exports generated from the Project will be in the order of Euro 25 million per annum. This will be offset by imports totaling Euro 12 million per annum giving a net export gain in the region of Euro 13 million per annum.

This incremental value added in agriculture can also be related to GDP as a whole. With agriculture contributing 10.6% of GDP in 1995/96, a 25% increase in agricultural value added from the project represents a 2.7% increase in overall GDP.
