Mozambique will soon stop importing animal feed from Malawi, because it will have its own factory supplying feed for poultry producers throughout the north of the country, President Daniel Chapo promised on Friday.
Speaking in Gurue district, in the central province of Zambezia, shortly after visiting the premises of the new factory, Chapo said it will supply feed to producers not only in Zambezia, but in the northern provinces of Nampula, Niassa and Cabo Delgado.
“This will allow us to make poultry production a reality, including breeding hens, chickens and eggs, in the north of our country”, he said. Up until now most of the chickens and eggs in the northern provinces have been imported from Malawi.
The new factory is an initiative of the National Industrialisation Programme (PRONAI), run by the Ministry of the Economy.
“This strategic investment will feed the distribution chain for the resellers and traders operating in the northern area”, said Chapo. “Our focus is to allow the production of chickens and eggs in this region to be a sustainable and competitive reality”.
The workers in the new factory, he added, will be young Mozambicans, for whom the government is building “a new economy with decent jobs”.
“These youths are working here today proudly in this industrial unit”, said Chapo. “They represent the future we want for Mozambique, a future with real opportunities for young people”.
