In a major development following years of research efforts and collaborating with national systems and partners in Mozambique, IITA–CGIAR, in partnership with the Agricultural Research Institute of Mozambique (IIAM) and the Soybean Innovation Lab, released five climate-resilient soybean varieties in Mozambique in December 2025.
The new varieties, named Bela, Malonda, Ovilela, Ulimi, and 10E, were tested in four provinces in the central and northern regions of the country, namely Niassa, Manica, Tete, and Zambézia, where soybean production predominates for four seasons.
