Resumen
Descripción
Agriculture and fisheries are the main
pillars of Mozambique's economy, having contributed in
the last few years to more than 25 percent of the gross
domestic product (GDP) and around 7 to 11 percentage points
of the rate of economic growth. Agricultural development in
Mozambique has been part of the government agenda because it
is crucial to reducing poverty within rural zones. The
long-term strategy for the agricultural sector in Mozambique
focuses on improving food security and reducing poverty by
supporting efforts of the smallholders, as well as the
private sector, governmental agencies, and nongovernmental
(NGO) agencies to improve agricultural productivity,
agro-processing activities, and marketing, while sustainably
exploiting natural resources. The agro-industrial sector is
an important part of the agricultural sector as a whole; the
food industries, beverages, and tobacco are estimated to
account for about 70 percent of the overall structure of the
manufacturing sector in Mozambique. Yet in Mozambique,
processing activities are far behind opportunities offered
by the potential diversified production. Instead of a
vibrant private sector, which is considered a prerequisite
for fostering economic growth and social development for
poverty reduction, Mozambique has a poor agribusiness
environment where most of the enterprises are micro and
informal. As a result, it is still very difficult to invest
in agriculture and agribusiness, to develop small and
medium-size enterprises (SMEs), and consequently, to create
new jobs. However, there is potential for many value chains
to support increased post-harvest processing in Mozambique,
such as horticulture, animal feed, oilseeds, and nuts.
