Mozambique launches agricultural campaign and digital support program

President Filipe Nyusi launched the 2026-27 agricultural campaign and the PROSPERA initiative in Mozambique to increase domestic food production.

The government aims to reduce the country's reliance on imported goods by improving the productivity of local farmers and strengthening national food security. During the launch, the President gave seven cotton and oilseed producers cheques worth one million meticais each. He also introduced the National Seed Traceability and Labelling System, which allows farmers to verify that their agricultural inputs are authentic.

The PROSPERA initiative provides farmers with access to technical assistance, market information, and climate alerts. This program includes the Olá Produtor service, which uses artificial intelligence and specialists to support producers. The government says the initiative focuses on including farmers in the sector rather than providing direct financing or equipment.
