Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2022, production of sunflower-seed oilcake in Mozambique increased from 5 775 t to 8 800 t, while market volume grew from 6 550 t to 10 053 t. This expansion was driven by the strategic focus on the oilseeds sector, including the establishment of the Cotton and Oilseeds Institute (IAOM) and seed quality regulations under Decree No. 12/2013. Support programs like SUSTENTA provided smallholders with quality seeds and technical assistance, boosting output. The revival of sunflower processing in regions such as Cabo Delgado after two decades further contributed to growth.

Production eased to 8 200 t and market volume to 9 161 t in 2023. During this period, institutional efforts continued, with priority given to seed sector investments and co-financing for SMEs in seed production and processing. The government's Five-Year Plan through 2024 reaffirmed commitments to certified seed production and market access for oilseeds, aiming to strengthen the sector's foundation.
