Description
The Manica Agro-Food Center (CAAM) initiative consists of two components: a concessional loan of 35 million Euros (see Project Document presented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Mozambique - MADER) and a grant of 3 million euros aimed at providing technical assistance to MADER for the implementation of the project and preparatory to the kick-off of the project activities. In 2019, Mozambique was devastated by cyclone IDAI, which particularly hit the provinces of Sofala, Manica, Tete and Zambezia, causing the destruction of various economic and social infrastructures. In this context, the Italian Government granted the Mozambique government a soft loan for reconstruction, amounting to 35 million euros. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER), in coordination with the Cabinet for Post-Cyclone Reconstruction (GREPOC) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), presented a proposal to the Embassy of Italy in Maputo for the construction, in the Province of Manica, of a fruit and vegetable agro-food center for the collection, sorting and processing of fruit and vegetables and the recovery of the socio-community infrastructures connected to it in the area. The objective of the proposal is to support the development of the Manica fruit and vegetable sector, through the establishment of a model agri-food center and the promotion of a participatory territorial governance structure that guarantees its success through the active involvement of all development actors. CAAM will also have to promote the development of equitable and inclusive agricultural supply chains, in which the role of women is valued. The new agri-food hub will have to equip itself with green and sustainable technologies and promote the circular economy.
