Mozambique’s government has approved revisions to its cotton regulations in an effort to reverse declining national production and stimulate economic growth. The updated rules cover all stages of the cotton industry, from cultivation and trade to storage and transportation, aiming to enhance the sector’s competitiveness. This initiative seeks to create jobs and significantly increase export revenues, with a target of $65 million. The revisions establish standards for cotton farming, processing, and international trade to modernize the industry. Officials hope the new regulations will attract investment and improve the livelihoods of cotton farmers. By addressing key challenges throughout the supply chain, the government anticipates a revival of Mozambique’s cotton industry. The move signals a strategic focus on agriculture as a driver of economic development.
