Earlier Report Observations

The production of cereal germ in Mozambique expanded consistently from 51 520 t in 2018 to 88 879 t in 2022. This growth was supported by the developing market for certified cereal seeds, with 59 registered seed producers, and the government's five-year industrial plans aiming to transform the agroindustrial sector. The establishment of the Instituto de Amêndoas de Moçambique in 2020 strengthened regulatory oversight, while FAO-led dialogue in 2022 improved access to quality seeds, directly benefiting maize and cereal germ output.

In 2023, production declined to 83 106 t. The drop was primarily caused by the El Niño weather phenomenon, which reduced maize harvests by 11% and consequently affected the supply of cereal germ.
