The Kingdom of Swaziland is located in the eastern part of southern Africa, landlocked by the Republics of South Africa and Mozambique.Swaziland has been experiencing consecutive drought seasons over a continuous eriod of five years since the 2001/02 rainfall season to present, with a forward shift on the start of the season and spatial distribution of the rainfall, resulting in an abnormal condition becoming normal.This has been attributed to climate change and has negatively affected the countrys scarce water resources.This has also translated into a sharp decline in crop production levels and crop diversity which does not auger well for the Swazi agro-based.
