IITA renews commitment to support agricultural production in Mozambique

IITA–CGIAR participated in the launch of the 2025/2026 Mozambique agricultural campaign on 13 November, marking the beginning of the rainy season.

As a strategic partner that has actively contributed to improving agricultural production and productivity in Mozambique, offering innovations in resilient varieties and improved seeds, climate-smart agricultural practices, inoculants, and aflasafe, IITA was invited by the Government to participate in the event, which took place in the province of Nampula.

During the launch, IITA showcased its potential, mainly in new varieties of cowpea, sesame, and soybean seeds, and explained to the Governor of Nampula province, Eduardo Mariamo Abdula, how it has contributed to and impacted the lives of communities, with an emphasis on small holder farmers, through partnerships that help facilitate access to seeds, develop the capacity in improved agricultural production techniques adapted to climate change, facilitate market access for the sale of agricultural produce and thus improve incomes, as well as improving diet through the adoption of healthy and accessible eating habits.
