The government yesterday met for another session of the Council of Ministers, where it approved the decree amending the Fertilizer Management Regulation to adapt it “to the dynamics of the current situation, with a view to improving the business environment.
The Fertilizer Registration Title will now be granted exclusively to companies that register fertilizers for marketing, research and academic institutions, and agricultural production companies with areas equal to or greater than 50 hectares.”
The executive also approved the Regulation on Alcoholic Beverages, which aims to improve the legal framework applicable to the production, marketing, and consumption of alcoholic beverage, mitigating the harmful effects of alcoholic beverage consumption and protecting consumer rights.
The document applies to all alcoholic beverages sold in Mozambique, whether domestically produced or imported.
The Council of Ministers also approved a Resolution authorizing the National Hydrocarbons Company to acquire all shares representing 70% of the share capital of ENH-KOGAS, S.A., held by KOGAS Moçambique, Limitada. The decision aims to strengthen ENH’s market position and ensure widespread gas consumption in the city of Maputo and the district of Marracuene, areas covered by the concession, which is part of the southern province of Maputo.
In the same cabinet session, the government authorized the formation of a special purpose company owned by the three shareholders of Mozambique Airlines (LAM): Cahora Bassa Hydroelectric Power Plant (HCB), Mozambique Ports and Railways (CFM), and the Mozambican Insurance Company (EMOSE).
The company’s main objective is to secure financing for the acquisition of a stake in LAM.
Finally, the executive authorized the payment of the annual instalments of LAM’s debt, guaranteed by the state with commercial banks, and grants the State Participation Management Institute (IGEPE), an entity that manages and coordinates the state’s business sector, to establish a specific purpose vehicle for the management and settlement of LAM’s debt.
The Council of Ministers also approved the proposals of the Labour Consultative Commission on minimum wages for eight sectors of activity, to be in effect in the Republic of Mozambique as of July 1, 2025; the Strategic Economic Development Plan for the Nacala Corridor (PEDEC – Nacala); the implementation status of the Basic Social Security Programs; and the implementation status of the agreements with countries on the supply of Mozambican labour.
