36 million hectares
Substantial arable land base for diversified production.
Mozambique Rural Development Platform
Macadamia do Planalto
From Soil to Market
A practical platform for agricultural production, local processing, smallholder integration and rural economic development in Northern and Central Mozambique.
Sustainable Rural Regeneration Program
The SRRP is the institutional program behind MDP's field work
It is designed for investors, government agencies, embassies, development finance partners and agricultural operators who need a clear rural development platform in Mozambique.
SRRP focuses on
- Production anchored in real farms
- Smallholder and cooperative participation
- Local processing for food and export value chains
- Seed systems, field training and technology transfer
- Mechanisation and practical agribusiness cooperation
Rural development and agro-industry
Operating across Northern and Central Mozambique
MDP develops farm infrastructure, processing opportunities and producer partnerships that connect land, knowledge, communities and markets.
Why Mozambique
A strong basis for rural development
Strategic location
Regional market access through Southern and Eastern African corridors.
Growing food demand
Population growth and urbanisation are expanding domestic demand.
Import substitution
Local production and processing can replace imported food products.
Agro-industrial growth
Processing, logistics and technology can increase rural value capture.

Cashew and rice
Cashew Development
Nut and fruit value chains
MDP's cashew development links dryland plantation expansion with on-farm value addition. The platform recognises both cashew nut processing and cashew apple processing as commercial pathways for rural income and agro-industrial growth.
Regenerative Agriculture
Production systems designed to rebuild ecological function
Agroforestry
Diversified crop layers that combine production with long-term landscape function.
Soil regeneration
Practices that rebuild soil structure, fertility and water retention over time.
Biodiversity
More diverse biological systems that support resilience and productivity.
Climate resilience
Stable microclimates and better ground cover to reduce production risk.
Syntropic agriculture
Field learning informed by Ernst Götsch's principles and national research links with IIAM.
Brazil-Mozambique Cooperation
A practical bridge for agribusiness knowledge transfer
Inspired by the 2026 Agronegocio webinar, MDP sees cooperation opportunities across seeds, agro-processing, mechanisation, precision agriculture, cooperatives and technology transfer.
