ABSTRACT: Since 1991, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) of Mozambique, through the Agricultural Market Information System (SIMA) has collected, processed and disseminated weekly information regarding prices of basic commodities at different market transaction levels. This information has been used by different actors in the market, including producers, traders, NGOs, consultants, and policy makers. SIMA has made efforts to serve multiple users, from the private and public sectors, using a variety of means of communication, thereby contributing to the development of agricultural markets. However, in a time of budget constraints, there is one important question: What is the value of investing in public market information as is currently done in Mozambique? This is discussed in this paper.

ABSTRACT: This flash edition provides the results of the survey carried out in April 2003 in central and north regions, in order to predict some information that could be useful for planning process of all food chain participants. It was found from the studied regions that there are different expectations of changes in agricultural production levels since last year. These expectations are mainly based on rainfall levels. In the Northern region there were good rainfall and better harvests are expected than last year. In contrast, poor rainfall occurred in the Central region, and poor harvests are expected. It was also found that transport availability, roads and regional markets conditions, diseases occurrence, especially AIDS, are some of the factors that will influence the agricultural markets operation in rural areas.

ABSTRACT: This policy brief outlines a number of steps for strengthening Mozambique’s seed system based on interviews conducted in the year 2000 and a review of existing literature. These include measures to speed the distribution of new seed varieties, and to place this distribution on a more sustainable footing. Recommendations are offered for strategies to better link variety development with seed multiplication and distribution. Proposals are highlighted to improve the complementarities of public and commercial investments in the national seed system. Opportunities for improving the efficiency of seed delivery through emergency relief programs are briefly reviewed. The paper concludes with a call for greater dialogue across all elements of the national seed sector in order to speed the pursuit of a common agenda for seed system development.
