Civil unrest over some 20 years and frequent drought in southern Mozambique, coupled with floods near the many waterways that transect the country (mainly east-west), have inhibited an agricultural transformation. Even so, Mozambique could be a regional breadbasket. The country has much potentially usable arable land, along with access to river water for irrigation in many agricultural production zones, particularly in central and northern Mozambique. Sesame, pigeon peas, and cashew exports are significant and rising, not to mention exports of industrial crops such as cotton, leaf tobacco, and sugarcane, yet production of grain and most other food crops remains stagnant. Irrigated area is way below what is possible and needed to increase yields and total agricultural output.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CREDITACCESSIBILITYAFDBAFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANKAGRIBUSINESSAGRIBUSINESS FIRMSAGRICULTURAL CENSUSAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL ECONOMISTAGRICULTURAL EXPORTSAGRICULTURAL FINANCEAGRICULTURAL GOODSAGRICULTURAL INFORMATIONAGRICULTURAL INPUTAGRICULTURAL INPUT MARKETAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LENDINGAGRICULTURAL MACHINERYAGRICULTURAL MARKETAGRICULTURAL MARKETSAGRICULTURAL MECHANIZATIONAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PROCESSINGAGRICULTURAL PRODUCEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTEAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SYSTEMAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL STATISTICSAGRICULTURAL ZONESAGRICULTURE FINANCEAGRICULTURE ORGANIZATIONAGRONOMIC RESEARCHAMMONIUM NITRATEANIMAL PRODUCTIONANIMAL TRACTIONAPPLICATION OF FERTILIZERARABLE LANDBANANASBREEDER SEEDBRIDGECAPITA AVAILABILITYCASH CROPSCASHEW NUTSCASSAVACATTLECERTIFIED SEEDCGIARCHEMICAL FERTILIZERSCOMMERCIAL AGRICULTURECOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMERCIAL FARMERSCOMMERCIAL FARMSCOMMERCIAL SEEDCOMMERCIAL VEHICLESCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCONSULTATIVE GROUP ON INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCHCOOPERATIVESCOTTONCOWPEACOWPEASCROPCROP PRODUCTIONCROP YIELDSCROPPINGCROPSCULTIVATIONCUTTINGDOMESTIC PRODUCERSECOLOGICAL ZONESEUROPEAN COMMISSIONEXPORTFAOFARMFARM EQUIPMENTFARM IRRIGATIONFARM MACHINERYFARM PRODUCEFARM SIZEFARMERFARMER ASSOCIATIONSFARMER ORGANIZATIONSFARMERSFARMSFEEDFERTILIZERFERTILIZER SUBSIDIESFERTILIZER SUBSIDYFERTILIZER USEFIELD CROPSFIELD WORKFLEETSFOOD CROPSFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SUPPLYFOREIGN EXCHANGEFORESTRYFOUNDATION SEEDFREIGHTFUELFUEL PRICEGATESGRAINGRAINSGREEN REVOLUTIONGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROUNDNUTGROUNDNUTSHORTICULTURAL CROPSHOURS OF OPERATIONHOUSEHOLDSHYBRID MAIZEHYBRID SEEDIFADIFDCIFPRIIMPORTSINDUSTRIAL CROPSINTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH CENTERINTERNATIONAL FERTILIZER DEVELOPMENT CENTERINTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNATIONAL FUND FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTUREINTERNATIONAL MARKETLABOR FORCELABORATORY TESTSLAND USELARGE FARMSLEGUMESLEVYLIVESTOCKLONG-DISTANCEMAIZEMAIZE PRODUCTIONMEATMEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGMILLETMILLINGMOUOILSEEDSPADDYPEANUTSPESTICIDESPIGEON PEASPLANT BREEDINGPLANTINGPLOWINGPOPULATION GROWTHPOTATOPOULTRYPOULTRY MEATPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRICE INDEXPRIVATE SEED COMPANIESPRODUCEPRODUCTION SYSTEMPRODUCTION SYSTEMSPUBLIC AGRICULTURAL RESEARCHPUBLIC WORKSRAILRAIL INFRASTRUCTURERAILROADSRAINFED AGRICULTUREREPLANTINGRICERICE PRODUCTIONROADROAD CONDITIONSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD QUALITYROAD SECTORROAD USERSRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL POPULATIONRURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTSEEDSEED COMPANIESSEED COMPANYSEED LAWSSEED MULTIPLICATIONSEED POLICYSEED PRODUCERSSEED PRODUCTIONSEED SECTORSEED TESTINGSEED VARIETIESSEEDSSESAMESOIL FERTILITYSOIL HEALTHSOIL TYPESSORGHUMSOYBEANSOYBEANSSUGARCANESUNFLOWERSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSWEET POTATOESSWISS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONTAXTOBACCOTOBACCO COMPANYTRACTORSTRAFFICTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT DATATRANSPORT INDICATORSTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTREESTROPICAL AGRICULTURETRUCKSUNDPUNITED NATIONSUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMEUNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTURBANIZATIONUSAIDVARIETY RELEASEVEGETABLESVOLUMEWHEATWORKING CAPITALYIELDSReportWorld Bank10.1596/26563
