Synopsis

This book examines the dynamics of demand for imported rice and meat in Mozambique, where food security and nutrition are key to socio-economic development. Despite the country’s agricultural potential, domestic production struggles to meet consumption needs, especially in urban areas. As a result, Mozambique increasingly depends on food imports, notably rice and meat, to satisfy dietary demands. Using rigorous quantitative methods and historical data, the book analyzes the economic factors influencing import demand from 2011 to 2022. Chapter I focuses on imported rice, while Chapter II addresses meat products like poultry, beef, and fish. The findings offer valuable insights for policymaking aimed at enhancing food security, supporting local production, and reducing vulnerability to global market changes. This work contributes to closing the knowledge gap on food import demand in Mozambique and offers guidance for sustainable development strategies.
