Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Exports of bananas from Mozambique, one of the world\u2019s 30 largest producers, last year fell to their lowest value in more than six years, at $32.3 million (\u20ac30.2 million), according to data from the Bank of Mozambique.<\/p>\n

Data on the value of the country\u2019s various exports, shows that this performance compares with banana exports of $41.4 million (\u20ac38.7 million) in 2022, little changed from 2021, while in 2017 this export yielded as much as $32.8 million (\u20ac30.6 million).<\/p>\n

Businesses have warned of the possibility of a shortage of agricultural products in the south of the country in the coming weeks, due to the consequences of successive floods, saying that prices may rise and pointing to difficulties in the banana sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to try to manage it as best we can with the ministry and also with the institutions that monitor the situation so that this doesn\u2019t happen,\u201d the vice-president of the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA), Maria Assunc\u0327a\u0303o Abdula, said at a recent news conference in Maputo. \u201cBut you know it\u2019s a reality and it\u2019s hard to get away from it. Product shortages always bring this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

She gave the example of the banana sector, where revenues \u201care already highly jeopardised\u201d for this year \u201cdue to excessive rains and winds that, in addition to causing direct damage, falling plants and compromising the respective shoots… are also leading to the emergence of many pests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maputo province, and other regions in the south of the country, have been affected in the last month by successive heavy rains and winds, which have caused several floods, conditioning various activities.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Maputo province alone had 22 private companies involved in banana production, 80% of which was exported to other African countries, according to government figures. In that year, the province produced 249,829 tonnes, on an area of 5,141 hectares, of which 4,719 hectares were farmed by private commercial companies and the rest by small producers, mostly families.<\/p>\n

\u201cFruit production contributes 3.9 per cent to the overall value of agricultural production in this part of the country,\u201d states the same government report of Maputo province, going on to cite figures for 2021. \u201cThis sector is one of the biggest generators of direct employment in the agricultural sector, with an average of 1.3 workers\/hectare, which means around 6,100 direct jobs and 11,000 indirect jobs, totalling around 17,100 workers.\u201d<\/p>\n
