Cotton sowing in the agrarian campaign 2022/2023, is progressing satisfactorily in the main producing regions of this crop in the country, according to preliminary monitoring conducted during the month of January. So far, it appears that in three cotton concessions, more than 100% of the areas planned for cotton cultivation have already been sown and the crop in the field shows good vegetative development, especially in the provinces of Niassa, Cabo Delgado and the interior of Nampula.

The producers are motivated by the implementation of the Price Stabilization Mechanism and have massively adhered to the cultivation of cotton in the current campaign, so the continuity of favorable weather conditions may result in increased production over the previous campaign.

The cotton production takes place under development in 38 districts in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula, Niassa, Manica, Sofala, and Tete, involving 6 concessionary companies and more than 130,000 family producers.
