Development Phase

The project is located close to the Zambezi River. The Zambezi valley has a high agricultural potential and is well endowed with the quality and volume of soils and available water resources for irrigation. Currently there is only small-scale subsistence farming in the area. Food security is a major issue in this region of Mozambique.

The main objectives of the project are to enhance commercial farming in order to reduce crop loss as a result of unproductive subsistence farming, to eliminate the need for food aid in the region and to train and empower local farmers in the project area. To reach these objectives a 3,000 ha local farmer cooperative will be created, which will be managed by a commercial farm operator.
