This report assesses the performance of the agriculture sector in Mozambique. It focuses on
analysis of agricultural investment, growth, trade, poverty and hunger trends, and the
progress made by Mozambique towards attaining the targets of the African Union’s (AU)
Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and The Southern
African Development Community’s (SADC) Regional Indicative Strategic Development
Plan (RISDP). The monitoring of the sector’s performance contributes towards, and
promotes, the culture of evidence-based development planning. Regional commitments such
as CAADP and national strategies such as the Strategic Plan for the Development of the
Agricultural Sector (PEDSA) have developed monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
frameworks. This trends report signals the Ministry of Agriculture’s (MINAG) interest and
effort to implement these frameworks with the support of the Mozambique Strategic
Analysis and Knowledge Support System (MozSAKSS) funded by the Swedish
International Development Agency (SIDA).
