Mozambique President Launches "Programa Prospera" to Boost Agricultural Production

On November 9, 2026, Mozambican President Daniel Chapo launched the "Programa Prospera", an initiative aimed at promoting agricultural production and transforming the country's economy. The program, spearheaded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment, and Fisheries, seeks to involve all Mozambicans in agricultural and aquaculture production, providing modern assistance from extensionists and leveraging artificial intelligence technology.

The "Programa Prospera" aims to increase production and productivity by providing prior information on climate phenomena and certifying the quality of seeds available in the market. This move is expected to prevent the use of inputs that harm agricultural production. President Chapo made the announcement during the launch of the 2026/2027 Agricultural Campaign in Miala, district of Sanga, Niassa province.

The President encouraged Mozambicans to engage in food production to ensure food security for the population and transform the agricultural sector. For the 2026/2027 campaign, the government has set targets of 4.5 million tons of cereals, 1.2 million tons of legumes, and 10 million tons of various tubers, in addition to meat, poultry production, fruits, and aquaculture.

To support farmers, the government has also launched a financing line for 10,000 cotton and oilseed producers, with access to technical assistance. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to boost agricultural production and improve the livelihoods of farmers. The "Programa Prospera" is expected to contribute to the country's economic growth and development.

The launch of the "Programa Prospera" and the 2026/2027 Agricultural Campaign is a significant step towards achieving food security and transforming Mozambique's economy. The program's focus on modernizing agricultural production and providing support to farmers is expected to have a positive impact on the sector.

According to the President, the program's success will depend on the active participation of all Mozambicans. He emphasized the importance of working together to achieve the set targets and ensure the country's food security. The government is expected to provide ongoing support and resources to ensure the program's success.

The "Programa Prospera" is a key initiative in the government's efforts to promote economic development and improve the livelihoods of Mozambicans. The program's impact will be closely monitored, and its success will be evaluated based on its ability to increase agricultural production and contribute to the country's economic growth.
