Agro-industrialisation
Move from production alone into cleaning, drying, storage, processing and market preparation where local value can be retained.
Sustainable Rural Regeneration Program
SRRP: a Mozambique rural development platform
The SRRP positions MDP as a practical operating platform for farms, cooperatives, processing, seed systems and technology transfer in Northern and Central Mozambique.
Positioning
Built for institutional conversations
The SRRP is designed for investors, government agencies, embassies, development finance partners and agricultural operators. It explains how MDP can organise land, crops, communities and processing into a rural development platform.
The focus is straightforward: grow food and commercial crops, process more value locally, integrate smallholders through cooperatives, and move practical agricultural knowledge into the field.
Program Architecture
Six working blocks
Smallholder integration
Build participation models for rural families around training, aggregation, planting material, field support and purchasing pathways.
Import substitution
Prioritise crops and processing systems that help Mozambique meet more of its own food demand through domestic production.
Seed systems
Improve access to adapted seed, seedlings and practical agronomy so producers can increase reliability and quality.
Technology transfer
Bring mechanisation, precision agriculture, irrigation knowledge and field data into formats that farms and cooperatives can actually use.
Cooperative development
Support producer organisation so supply can be aggregated, quality can be improved and finance can reach more rural actors.
Where SRRP Starts
Anchored in real operating sites
Niassa 1 - Maniamba
Macadamia, rice, beans and maize, with 17 ha of macadamia planted, 1,200m altitude and 10,000 hectares of long-term development potential.
Niassa 2 - Cuamba, Mepica
Cashew, rice, sesame and maize as a multi-crop platform for production, processing and farmer participation.
Zambezia - Novanana, Alto Molocué
Cashew and rice as an additional Central Mozambique platform for rural production and value-chain development.
Value Chains
Production plus processing
Food crops
Rice, beans, maize and sesame support local food systems, farmer participation and import substitution.
Tree crops
Macadamia and cashew create long-term farm assets, employment and export potential when combined with local handling and processing.
Cashew nut and fruit
The cashew program includes 5,700 trees planted over 80 hectares, with expansion potential and processing opportunities for both nuts and cashew apples.
Strategic Partnerships
Building agricultural and agro-industrial capacity
MDP seeks partnerships with producers, cooperatives, agro-industries, technology providers and investors capable of accelerating agricultural production, agro-processing and rural development in Mozambique.
The SRRP provides a practical platform for collaboration across seed systems, mechanisation, agro-processing, smallholder integration and value-chain development.
