Tete: Industrial Production Generated 6.3M Meticals By September

The province of Tete, in central Mozambique, raised around 6.3 million meticals from the production of various goods between January and September 2024, marking a growth of 6.6% compared to the 5.9 million meticals recorded in the same period of 2023, the newspaper Notícias reported this Thursday, 12 December

According to the newspaper, the information was provided by the provincial director of Industry and Commerce, Ofélio Jeremias, who said that ‘the amount represents 81 per cent of the annual target set for the sector.’

According to Jeremias, ‘the increase was driven by advances in the metal products, food and chemical industries, as well as the licensing of 31 new industries, bringing the total to 2438, including micro, small, medium and large companies.’

In the agricultural sector, 1.6 million tonnes of products were sold, especially surpluses sold at fairs held in districts such as Tsangano, Angónia and Moatize. In commerce, 1,664 new establishments were licensed (more than double the number in 2023), strengthening the supply of services and goods in the region.

By the end of September, the province had 5704 retail establishments, 1336 wholesale establishments and 3206 providers of various services. The opening of new supermarkets has contributed to the consistent supply of essential products such as vegetable oil, sugar and soap, whose price variation has remained within the recommended limits.

Tete stands out as a growing region, with efforts focused on strengthening local production and stimulating trade, promoting economic and social stability in the province.
