Speaking on Thursday, in Maputo, at the opening of the ‘Go to Market Moçambique’ Agri-Food Forum, an event organized by the Young Farmers of Portugal Association (AJAP) in partnership with the House of Mozambique in Portugal (CMP), the Minister said that country needs Portugal’s experience to attract agro-investment, knowledge and technology.
According to Albino, Mozambique must move beyond being viewed merely as a consumer market and establish itself as a destination for productive investment, capable of hosting companies interested in production, processing, and exporting from within the country.
He explained that the country offers opportunities in areas such as rice production, agro-processing, agricultural mechanization, and other value chains, with the potential to supply not only the domestic market but also the Southern African region, which consists of approximately 300 million consumers.
Mito also advocated for practical training for young agricultural technicians through incubation and capacity-building programs designed to facilitate their integration into productive activities.
