Governo quer aumentar contribuição da indústria no PIB

O Governo pretende aumentar a taxa de contribuição da indústria transformadora no Produto Interno Bruto (PIB), considerando a abundância de recursos pesqueiros, florestais, minerais e petrolíferos, tidos como tendo grande potencial para gerar fábricas.

Actualmente a indústria transformadora tem contribuído anualmente, em média, em aproximadamente 9 por cento no Produto Interno Bruto.

Esta pretensão foi apresentada recentemente, em Maputo, pelo Ministro da Indústria e Comércio, Silvino Moreno, na abertura de um seminário para socialização do Programa Nacional Industrializar Moçambique (PRONAI).

“A industrialização continua a ser uma das prioridades do Executivo para a transformação estrutural da economia, traduzida pelo crescimento do PIB e pela elevação da competitividade através da diversidade produtiva”, disse.

The province of Tete foresees to start this year the monthly export of fifty thousand tons of manganese. The resource, whose exploration project is taking place in the district of Changara, will have as main destinations the markets of India, China and Thailand.

According to the representative of the company executing the project, Enterpraise Group Investment, the beginning of the exportation initially foreseen for next month, is dependent on the arrival of part of the machinery for the transformation of that resource.

CTA and Argentina seek markets for wheat supplies

The Ambassador of Argentina in Mozambique, Juan Jorge Nunes, held this Tuesday (May 24, 2022), a meeting with the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA), where the parties agreed to cooperate in the search for markets and stability of wheat supply, as well as to increase the volume of trade between the two countries.

Trade relations between Mozambique and Argentina currently do not exceed 60 million U.S. dollars, combining exports and imports. Of this trade volume, 95% corresponds to imports of food products such as wheat and cooking oil, which total 52 million U.S. dollars.

Mozambique’s exports are summarized in furniture and its components, plastic works, books, carpets, knitted clothes for women, curtains, blinds, tableware, household items, glass mirror, among others.

“From the type of exports, it is clear that we can do more. One can notice that the Argentinean market has an appetite for Mozambique’s decoration, beauty, and art products. The example of this is in furniture, where Mozambique processes wood products, porcelain, and clay, which is very appreciated in Argentina,” said Agostinho Vuma, President of CTA.

The two parties agreed to organize B2B with Argentinean businessmen interested in acquiring this type of product in order for Mozambique to expand its market.

The passenger car market is attractive to Mozambicans and can be one of the driving forces of trade, and it is necessary to find financial instruments to support bilateral trade between companies from Mozambique and Argentina.

Mozambique is one of Argentina’s main markets, particularly for wheat, and it is intended to work on promoting partnerships for the production and development of cereal value chain. As a private sector, CTA has proposed the signing of bilateral agreements between governments for the supply of these products at stable prices.

Matola Terminal receives second train of coal from Botswana

Grindrod’s Matola terminal at the Port of Maputo says it has received its second train of coal from Botswana’s Morupule Mine.

The terminal was also able to successfully unload the 50 wagons using the terminal’s tippers. (Fortunately, the tippers are compatible with the Botswana wagons.)

It is anticipated that the corridor could realize an annual export volume of 350,000 tons to 400,000 tons of coal from Botswana.

Botswana is trying to develop a number of new coal mines, but because it is a landlocked country, it requires an efficient and economical cross-border export route.

Extractive industry must be the driving force of industrialization

The Minister of Economy and Finance, Max Tonela, defended during the opening of the 8th edition of the Mozambique Mining, Oil, Gas and Energy Conference and Exhibition (MMEC 2022), transparency in the exploitation of natural resources aimed at promoting the social and economic development of the country.

“The exploitation of this potential must be done in a transparent way so that its benefits contribute, in the first place, to the elevation of the lives of Mozambicans, today and tomorrow,” said Max Tonela.

For the extraction of natural resources to be put at the service of the prosperity of Mozambicans, the executive is betting on strategies that promote the industrialization of the country and the participation of the national private sector in the value chain.

“We want the extractive industry to be the driving force of national industrialization, ensuring that our resources can be transformed into high value-added products, promoting more employment and boosting the domestic market and exports,” stressed the Minister of Economy and Finance.

Max Tonela said that the Government has taken several measures to eliminate barriers to investment, ensure transparency and guarantee a greater participation of the national and foreign private sector in the exploration of energy resources.
