Question 5 Most of my participants strongly agreed that Textile firms in Swaziland are the ones who suffered severely due to the loss of the AGOA status in Swaziland. This is due to the fact that most of the products which were produced in these firms were exported to the United…

In sum, Anthropology provides the tools to look beyond the conventional world and dive into life-changing experiences and knowledge of what it means to be human. Perhaps the most significant insight I attained from Jay Arehart’s presentation regarding his work within Bolivia and Swaziland is the applicability of the anthropological perspective in every career and academic field.

people working for or under them. Higher yield rate Higher yield rates means that the price will be cheaper because the farmers can match the demand of the consumers this therefore means that inorganic crops will clear the shelves quicker than organic crops because often consumers choose price over safety (Xiamen terrabetter CO., 2015).
