The Plan: The implementation of this compact will contribute to the development of a more productive, competitive agricultural sector for food self-sufficiency, as outlined in the national agricultural sector investment plan (2022-30) prioritizing investments in oilseeds, poultry, and rice value chains. This compact is aligned with the national agriculture strategy, and its implementation will be based on the ongoing national agriculture program SUSTENTA and focused on the Pemba-Lichinga development corridor linking smallholder farmers with private farmers. Financial investments in these value chains will also contribute to improved food and nutrition security, lower imports, integrating small producers into a market economy, and income generation for rural families, particularly women and youth.
