In the northern province of Nampula, the largest poultry producer in northern Mozambique “Novos Horizontes”, 15 kilometres outside Nampula city, finds itself with huge quantities of unsold chickens on its hands. The company blames this on the collapse of tourism, caused by the Covid-1 pandemic.

The company’s accountant, Etelvino Zuber, cited in the independent daily “O Pais”, said most of the clients had been hotels, restaurants, and take-aways, which have been severely hit by the pandemic.

The company has reacted by cutting its prices by five per cent in the hope of attracting buyers for the 380 tonnes of frozen chickens in its freezers, and the 170,000 live chickens ready to be slaughtered.
