Swaziland is a small landlocked economy, subsistence agriculture occupies more than 80% of the Swazi population. Swaziland manufacturing features a number of agroprocessing factories. Mining in Swaziland has declined in importance in recent years: diamond mines have shut down because of the depletion of easily accessible reserves; high-grade iron ore deposits were depleted by 1978; and health concerns have cut world demand for asbestos. Exports of soft drink concentrate, sugar, and wood pulp are the main earners of hard currency for Swaziland. Swaziland is surrounded by South Africa, except for a short border with Mozambique, Swaziland is heavily dependent on South Africa from which it receives nine-tenths of its imports and to which it sends more than two-thirds of its exports.
| The Swaziland government is trying to improve the atmosphere for foreign investment and the small amount of Tourism in Swaziland is slowly increasing.
