Access to Markets - Seychelles

Markets and opportunities in Seychelles

Seychelles is open to all investors and despite its small size, the country offers unlimited opportunities for investment and business in different sectors, with market opportunities in the COMESA and SADC countries. Some of the sectors include: tourism/hospitality, blue economy/fisheries, agriculture/agro-processing and financial services/offshore.

Tourism/Hospitality

In the next 5 years until the end of 2022, the forecast number of beds required is 6,000. To meet this target, there is a need for investment in tourism accommodation facilities.

Blue Economy/Fisheries

The Seychelles is slowly becoming the player to watch in the field of the blue economy with investment opportunities in areas which include: fish processing, cold chain logistics and ice plants, among others.

Agriculture/Agro-processing

Seychelles aims to increase the national raw food output and raise the visibility of the sector to attract more investments. This momentum is being driven by the recently launched Comprehensive Agricultural Development Plan drawn from the sector’s strategic framework document known as the Seychelles National Agricultural Investment Plan.
