Mozambican President Daniel Chapo has launched the 2026-2027 agricultural campaign, with the aims of increasing production, productivity and food security. The campaign notably includes measures to address the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, according to the Mozambican presidency.
Mozambican President Daniel Chapo launched the 2026-2027 agricultural campaign on Monday 9 November in Sanga district, Niassa province. The programme aims to increase agricultural production and productivity, strengthen food security and develop the transformation of the sector, according to the Mozambican presidency as cited by O País.
The campaign notably includes measures to limit the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, as irregular rainfall and prolonged periods of drought are expected, especially in the central and southern regions. The government also wants to promote more market-oriented agriculture and the development of agribusiness, according to the presidency.
The launch is expected to bring together sector stakeholders around increasing national production, agricultural investment and improving people's living conditions. It comes as Mozambique is already preparing several measures to respond to the effects of El Niño, including the mobilisation of $94.7 million announced on 5 November.
