Small farmers in northern Mozambique are among the poorest population groups in the country. Although they grow undemanding agricultural products such as peanuts and cashew nuts on their poor soils, the harvest is not very productive. The reasons for this are the nutrient-poor soil, little access to capital and technical resources, and lack of economic know-how. In order to secure a better income for the population of this region, the AMCANE project promotes the development of the peanut as well as the cashew and macadamia nut value chain.
