For the first time in Mozambique, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in cooperation with Agro-Negocio para o Desenvolvimento de Moçambique (ADM) developed and tested the use of e-vouchers to facilitate farmers’ access to seeds, fertilizers and other inputs needed to increase production and productivity. The e-voucher system is a flexible market development tool that allows farmers to buy certain types of inputs from agro-dealers that accept e-vouchers as a partial payment.
