摘要：The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has made substantial progress towards attainment of Free Trade Area (FTA). It is in the process of establishing its own customs union. This paper attempts to establish whether SADC member states have revealed comparative advantage or in the event of attaining a customs union and establishing a common external tariff (CET), they will replace low cost producers outside SADC in favour of high cost producers within SADC or they will replace high cost producers outside SADC in favour of low cost producers within SADC.
