mozambique agriculture?

Question

i cant find what they grow! help

Answer 1

Mozambique has over 60 rivers, therefore its soil is very, very rich. Since farming is good for the economy the government is very willing and involved to help farmers. Mozambique has the most farming potential than any other African country. There are about 36 million hectares of arable land and only 10% of it is in productive use. Eighty-five percent of workers are farmers and most of them work in the Zambezi valley, where the Zambezi river flows; the Zambezi is the biggest, and most helpful water-form in Mozambique. Most people that live in rural areas depend on subsistence farming. Most farmers in Mozambique use the slash and burn method which is cutting down trees and then burning them. This method make the soil very fertile for one year and then more land needs to be cleared.
Most Mozambicans grow sugarcane, coconuts, sorghum, cashews, corn, tea, different types of wood, cotton, and citrus. As-well as crops, some farms also raise livestock such as cattle, pigs, rabbits, and poultry. Even though tobacco is a good crop and very profitable, in Mozambique all tobacco advertising was banned, therefore there are very few tobacco farms and factories.

Answer 2

Agriculture

The climate and soils of Mozambique are suitable for tropical agriculture. Cotton and cashews are important export earners. In the highlands near the Malawi border, tea is an important crop. Mozambique’s staple crops are corn, sorghum, and cassava (11.5 million metric tons).

Mozambique has vast areas of fertile land, which can produce enough food for the nation, as well as exports. Maize, sugar cane, tobacco, rice, tea, and citrus fruits are all grown. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/coolplanet/kidsweb/world/mozambique/mozgeog.htm
