1 Soy Value Chain in Mozambique Results and Challenges Feed the Future Scaling Agricultural Technology/GLEE 3-5 Dec 2013, Addis Ababa Luis Pereira, Agricultural Program Director / TechnoServe Mozambique
2 1. Actual Soy Situation in Mozambique TechnoServe 2

4 The context is positive for soy development in Mozambique Soy is a new crop in Mozambique (beginning in and then after 2005/06) Soybean has growing demand in the domestic market (poultry industry growing at 60% per year, and large vegetable oil consumption) Agro-ecological conditions are favorable in various Mozambique regions for soy cropping The commercial private sector is increasing the investments in the soy value chain
5 Soy in Mozambique from the 09/10 season until now 60,000 Total National, per Year/crop season, 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 Nr de Agric Área (ha) Prod. (ton) 0 Camp 09/10 REAL Camp 10/11 REAL Camp 11/12 REAL Camp 12/13 Real Camp 13/14 Plano 5

7 Main Reasons for Growth of Soy Production Internal market Strong domestic demand, increasing in various regions feed, poultry and oil industries growing Good farm-gate prices to the producers: equivalent to $450-$615 USD/ton Incentives and a technical package for the producers, funded by donors, including: seed varieties, innoculant, high quality demo plots, field days, training sessions, etc Other investments in the industry Capital intensive farms and companies, in north and center regions, providing scale and knowledge to the industry as a whole TechnoServe 7
8 We expect soy production in Mozambique to double over the next two seasons to at least 70,000 tons per year! 8 Estimated Soy Production 2010/ /2015, 000 MT % Soy production is growing at 40% per year through increases in: cultivated areas and increases in yield 2010/ / / / /15 1 Included around 6,000 Metric Tons crossing-over Malawi border; Source: TechnoServe (Southern Africa Regional Soy Study, 2011)

16 3. Model / Strategy TechnoServe 16
17 Usually, investment in agribusiness in Mozambique by major new (usually foreign) investors is based on: Intensive Commercial Agriculture ONLY Mozambique needs large commercial farms to achieve economies of scale, and to increase availability of technologies and knowledge, however there are SIGNIFICANT RISKS: Land conflicts with local small farmers and traditional rural leaders; Poorly trained local staff for correct using of intensive capital equipment; Significant difficulties related to logistics of key inputs requiring high inventories, and underutilized assets; Major possibility of other problems such as theft and improper use. Lack of understanding of social aspects and labor with impact on productivity 17
18 An investment in agribusiness MUST be made according to the Mozambique reality: A good BALANCE between core farming and an out grower/extension services model to smallholder farmers, based on capitalizacon of SCF/small commercial farmers! Concentrate the intensive investment in core farm: Add value supplied by own-farm production plus production purchased to small farmers, grown with assistance from the commercial farm Definition of the area of influence - better integration reinforce linkages and mutual dependence on an economic basis Agricultural services can be provided to the out growers and small commercial farmers by the large commercial farm: Improved inputs better seed varieties, agro chemicals, innoculant, etc Some agricultural services, such as mechanization, agro-processing, use of irrigation, training, etc
19 TechnoServe actions in Mozambique promoting this approach: Direct support to large commercial farms and small commercial farms using the out grower model Selling/distribution of improved seed varieties and innoculant to small farmers, on declining subsidy basis - executed by the commercial farms (LCFs + SCFs) in their zone of influence Technical support Training (3 courses/3 days each, per crop season) Subsidy for Demo Plots installation Field Days Scholarships for sons/daughters of key SCFs Co-financing salaries/recruitment of young agricultural technicians (in LCFs and some SCFs) Facilitate linkages/contacts between buyers/feed and poultry industries, etc with producers - periodic meetings, support the creation of business associations, cooperatives, etc.
20 Importance of the triangle: LCFs/companies - local commercial banks - SCF/small commercial farmers SCF Local Banks LCFs Small Commercial Farmer Facilitate access to bank loans for SCFs, selecting the more developed in agrotechnique and agro-commercial aspects Help insure that all soy produced is purchased at good farm gate prices
21 3.a. Capitalization of SCFs based on Seed Multiplication TechnoServe 21
22 SM4ESCF Seed Multiplication, Zambezia: Capitalization of 50 SCFs: - Tractor for land preparation and threshing + Small Irrigation scheme + Demo Plots, Field days, Training + Creation of a new Cooperative with a Seed Processing Unit Land preparation Threshing Irrigation Sacha c/trac.animal Seed Production Seed Processing Unit Seed Processing

Maintain vision for soy in Mozambique collect and diffuse data and information 4. Seed Multiplication intensification through capitalization of SCFs 5.
