A group of Brazilian businesspeople visiting Mozambique plans to invest in building an animal feed factory with a view to supplying families producing their own chickens, according to Mozambican newspaper Notícias. The paper added that no details had been given in relation to investment amounts, or the location of the factory, but that negotiations are underway.
Dirceu said that,
initially, chicken production would be on a family level, in a more structured
way, reducing production costs and that as results were achieved the business
could be expanded.
Globaves is already working with the government, via
the Ministries for Planning and Development, and Agriculture, as well as with
the first lady’s office for execution of a family poultry breeding project and
setting up the feed factory in the country.
According to Dirceu, as well
as poultry breeding, the Brazilian businesspeople are also interested in
investing in areas such as tourism, infrastructure development, trade,
agriculture and mining.
