Mozambique’s coffee industry is at the embryonic stage, with most modern coffee projects beginning after 2020.
In recent years the government of Mozambique has created a ten year sector development plan that aims to increase production to 5000 hectares from the current total of around 300, and has created AMOCAFÉ, a national association of coffee producers. The government was targeting a production of around 100 tons in 2025 with best estimates putting the final output at around 90 tons.
Most of the country’s current coffee projects are focused on reforestation of degraded lands, primarily in the central regions of Gorongosa and Chimanimani. In these areas new shade covered coffee production is used successfully as a method for reforesting lands previously cleared for more intensive agriculture.
