The production of macadamia nuts in the country may, within the next two years, exceed 30 thousand tons, which may generate more than 150 million dollars annually with the exports planned for South Africa, Vietnam, China and other countries interested in this nut.
The projection is from the Government, which according to Notícias, is currently boosting the production of this almond, whose starting point to gain greater visibility was in the year 2020, where the provinces of Zambezia, Manica and Niassa stand out for presenting great agro-ecological potential for this crop.
Data from the Almond Institute of Mozambique in our possession indicate that there is a wide range of opportunities for the country to assert itself in the production of this emerging crop, namely, the existence of an estimated potential of over 196,000 hectares for the establishment of new fields and favorable agro-climate in agro-ecological regions.
