The Mozambique government has pledged to oversee compliance with the new price list recently agreed with fresh produce importers, in order to mitigate recent increases in the cost of food.
The measure was adopted by the government to deal with the effects of reduced domestic production of fresh produce and came into force in mid-April, but it has not yet had the desired effect and food prices remain high.
Minister of Industry and Trade Max Tonela has promised that the necessary monitoring will take place and practices will be put under the microscope soon.
“The work we are doing with the importers, especially small and medium-scale, will endure that the benefits they are getting from April 14, the date on which the new prices came into force, will be passed on to the final consumer,” Minister Tonela said.
