Mozambique is expected to produce 90 tonnes of dry coffee this year, but despite this being a record number, there is still a long way to go to secure the industry and its future growth, according to industry players.
The jump in production is itself slightly misleading: only 50 tonnes were produced in the last harvest, in 2023-24, but production was heavily affected by the stem borer pest and the antestia bug, mainly in Gorongosa district in the central province of Sofala, where most Mozambican coffee comes from.
