The Loti is at par with the South African rand. The Rand is accepted anywhere in Lesotho. Economy Lesotho has a small economy that has water as its only export commodity.
Water is sold to South Africa via the Highlands water scheme.
Agriculture, livestock farming and remittances from miners employed in South Africa also support the economy. Most businesses have not been able to reopen as they had not been covered by insurance. Lesotho imports most of its food supplies. All rights reserved. This content may only be stored for personal and non-commercial purposes.
