Eswatini Swazi Kitchen

Products: the products are 100% natural, with no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. ESK’s top sellers include Mango Chutney, Mixed Fruit Chutney, and the award-winning Swazi Fire hot sauce. With the value-add in country, these natural gourmet products bring the taste of Africa with a social ingredient. ESK markets its products as fairly traded. This claim is supported by its membership of COFTA and WFTO (Cooperation for Fair Trade in Africa and World Fair Trade Organization). These bodies assess an organisation’s commitment to 10 Fair Trade standards and award the WFTO mark.



ESK is a small factory which for 19 years has been supplying jams, jellies, marmalades, chutneys, atchars, and sauces to the Fair Trade markets in Europe, Australia, North America, and Japan, as well as regional markets in Southern Africa.


Eswatini (meaning ‘in Swaziland’) Swazi Kitchen was set up in 1991 by a Catholic priest, Father Larry McDonnell and an Anglican nun Sister Judith Dean O.B.E., to create employment in Swaziland for disadvantaged communities, and to generate income for Manzini Youth Care, a non-government organization caring for children affected by HIV/AIDS.

Eswatini has grown from a small cottage industry to a successful project producing quality products exported to 14 international destinations including Japan, Europe, U.K, America and Australia. Eswatini has recently become a registered member of COFTA, the Cooperation for Fair Trade in Africa. Eswatini Swazi Kitchen is wholly owned by Manzini Youth Care. The board of Management is comprised of local business people who give freely and generously of their time.

We are now open.

After a lot of hard work, we have got most of what we wanted in place,
 and have opened for trade.
The early start is a bit of a shock to us, we open at 8-00a.m. and stay until 5-00p.m..  We are offering people tastes of different products which we stock, so that they be sure of the high quality before they buy them.  At the moment, we have been letting people taste the different types of potted meat which we sell, and the baking.

Our potted meats are made for us by Halls Home Produce, a local firm to Sheffield.  The baking is by Curtis of Lincoln, who have been in business for 200 years.

We are in the market.

After a longer wait than we had planned, things are moving.  On Thursday we moved in to Open Stall 7 at the Castle Market in Sheffield.
We had to get the electricity account sorted out, and then we needed to get the floor cleaned so that it would be fit to use as a food store.  Next we put up some notices so that people would have a clue what we are selling.
Next, we had to hire a van to bring the shelves and building materials to the stall.  This means that we could start building the display shelves and storage shelves.
Then we could put up the sign which had been sign-written earlier.
Now it begins to look more like a stall where something will be sold!  We are hoping to open for trade on Thursday ( May 23rd) and have ordered stock ready for this.
The foods which we are selling will all be described by at least one of : Traditional, Local, Artisan or Fairly Traded.
