Mozambique Agribusiness Report Q2 2013

BMI View: We hold a positive view on Mozambique's agribusiness sector, as the country has the potential to feed itself and is able to tap abundant and largely unexploited land and water resources. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Mozambique still requires investment of US$3.1bn between 2013 and 2017 to ensure that the country is self-sufficient in food. Of the utmost importance is boosting agricultural productivity by improving irrigation, and introducing technology to small-scale farmers. Our optimism about Mozambique's agriculture industry largely hinges on the government's continued support for the sector. We are especially upbeat on sugar and poultry production, which offer attractive opportunities for further investments in the coming years.

Key Forecasts

• Sugar production growth to 2016/17: 51.4% to reach 530,000 tonnes. As one of Mozambique's key cash crops, long-term sugar production growth will reflect an increase in export-driven demand and the opening up of new markets. Output is also expected to benefit from investment in biofuels.
