Agricultural policy and production in Mozambique

Overview

In Mozambique, agricultural stakeholders have focused on addressing value chain and production challenges. Initially, producers in Nampula expressed concerns that low purchase prices for commodities like sesame, cotton, peanuts, soybeans, and sunflower seeds primarily benefit processors rather than laborers. In response to broader sector issues, the Mozambican government later approved a new regulatory framework specifically for the cotton sector. This initiative seeks to reverse a significant decline in production by regulating the entire value chain—from production to export—with the goal of increasing annual output to 60,000 tonnes and stimulating private investment.
