The progress that Mozambique has made in the last ten years is fascinating, it is fabulous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nyusi\u2019s visit to India is part of efforts to strengthen relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries, as well as to promote investment opportunities in Mozambique, according to his office.<\/p>\n<p>His trip comes at a time when a court dispute between two companies over the liberalisation of exports of pigeon pea to India had led to dozens of tonnes of the product being blocked at Mozambique\u2019s ports.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of December, the African country\u2019s Confederation of Economic Associations (CTA) explained that the impounded pigeon pea was then already being exported to India, reiterating that \u201cfree access to the market\u201d is the best option to avoid similar problems.<\/p>\n<p>The export of pigeon peas to India, which is the main market for the product, is the result of a memorandum of understanding between the two countries, signed in 2016, providing for exemption from customs duties for India-based importers.<\/p>\n<p>India is the largest producer and consumer of pigeon peas, with the Indian press reporting a 10% rise in the price of the product in the country in two months, precisely because of the difficulties in importing from Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
