Chapo launches 2026-27 agricultural campaign
President Daniel Chapo launched PROSPERA to connect producers with services, climate alerts, and markets.
President Daniel Chapo launched Mozambique's 2026-27 agricultural campaign on Monday in Lichinga, Niassa province, under the slogan “Let’s Produce to Feed Mozambique”. The campaign aims to boost production, enhance food security, and reduce import reliance. He also presented a National Seed Traceability and Labelling System to verify agricultural input authenticity.
During the event, seven cotton and oilseed producers received cheques totalling seven million meticais, with each producer getting one million meticais. The PROSPERA initiative was also launched to link producers with technical assistance, financing information, climate alerts, and market access. President Chapo stated PROSPERA is an inclusion instrument, not a financing programme.
The government initiative aims to increase domestic production, improve farming family incomes, and strengthen food security. President Chapo reaffirmed Niassa's potential as Mozambique's agricultural capital, highlighting its strengths in bean, maize, peanut, and macadamia cultivation.
Why it mattersMozambican farmers will benefit from increased production support, access to technical assistance, climate information, and markets through the PROSPERA initiative.
