This is an anticipated USAID/Mozambique Feed the Future program, a potential 5-year effort, which, if awarded to TechnoServe, would be expected to begin in late 2013 or early 2014 focusing primarily in the Nacala and Beira corridors. The project intends to increase smallholder incomes by promoting market-oriented, competitive businesses in priority food and cash crop sectors namely oilseeds/pulses, fruit and cashew value chains.
