Executive Summary


Market


Investment
Opportunities


Major gap exists between domestic production and demand
Climate and soil are very well-suited to rice, with
opportunities for year-round production
Significant investment is underway, which may dramatically
improve current infrastructure and raise rice yields
There are business opportunities in several parts of the
value chain as well as for an integrated producer
One of those opportunities is a medium-size milling
facility, which requires investment of ~USD 5M
Would be supported by 3,000-5,000 smallholder farmers

Rice – Market Analysis (1/2)
Market
Rice consumption has doubled over the past decade, but without significant
reductions in rice importations
Growth Potential


Production growth has not been able to overcome
demand growth – keeping imports high
Mozambique has the 3rd highest rice
consumption in SADC, but is mostly
dependent on imported rice
– Unlike neighbor countries, the share of
imports has not reduced over time and
instead remains around ~60%
– Despite the significant growth potential
for rice (Mozambique’s climate and soil
are considered very well-suited to rice),
domestic production has only grown
at the same rate as imports
Without increased local production, this
gap will only grow due to a projected 7%
domestic demand increase per year

Poultry – Market Analysis
Significant Potential for Import Substitution Makes Poultry a Strong Investment
1 Demand for poultry has grown meaningfully across Africa
– Poultry’s consumption has more than doubled in over 10 African countries over the last decade,
with high dependence of imports from Brazil, Asia, and US
– Opportunity for local players to supply this demand due to geographic advantages
2 While domestic demand in Mozambique has grown slightly in past, future demand is expected to more
than triple in the next 10 years
– Impact of considerable growth in mining as well as oil and gas sectors on working population will
help full domestic demand
3 Feed costs correspond to ~75% of total costs – with growth in the domestic soy cake industry, potential
for reduced input costs could further drive demand

Cassava – Market Analysis
New Processing Technology Expands Market Opportunities for Cassava
1 Cassava does and will continue to have a strong
demand advantage versus other staple crops in
Mozambique, particularly in the north
– Cassava is an easy-to-produce and droughtresistant crop with food security importance
2 Substitution opportunities exist for cassava within
Mozambique, given strong cost advantages over
other commodities
– Cost for cassava is roughly half of some related
commodities
– Example: Up to 25% of wheat1 used in bread can
be substituted by cassava at 55% of cost
3 Potentially significant market opportunities have
been created by a mobile cassava processing unit
created by DADTCO
– This allows for additional uses of cassava in
livestock feed, industrial raw materials, alcohol
brewing, and ethanol
– For example: SABMiller will invest an additional
$124 M over the next two years to continue to
develop its cassava beer (Impala), made
possible by the mobile processing units

Vegetables – Market Analysis
Opportunity to Substitute Imports and Export Additional Crops to Nearby Countries
1 Vegetables in Mozambique are an important income earner with high growth forecasted
– Despite occupying only 6.6% of cultivated land, they accounted for USD 15M and 3,500 jobs
in 2009
– World Bank projects the total formal domestic vegetable market will be USD 100M by 2021 from
USD 65M in 2006
2 Vegetables present a significant opportunity for import substitution within Mozambique
– The three largest vegetable crops are tomato1, potato, and onion. Combined they represent a
local supply deficit of 310,000 metric tons
– Recent entrance of supermarkets such as Shoprite
and Game, as well as mining operations, provide
potentially large buyers of locally grown vegetables
3 Export of vegetables is also an option for Mozambique
– Most of Southern Africa cannot produce frostsensitive export crops like baby-corn, beans, and chilies
during winter months but Mozambique can, particularly in
the tropical coastal climates found in the Beira corridor
