Brazilians plan feed factory in Mozambique 06 Oct 2008
A group of Brazilian businesspeople visiting Mozambique plans to invest in
building an animal feed factory with a view to supplying families producing
their own chickens, according to Mozambican newspaper Notícias. The paper added
that no details had been given in relation to investment amounts, or the
location of the factory, but that negotiations are
underway.
Jorge Dirceu, a representative of the business group,
said that the initiative would be implemented by communities to be selected in
Mozambique in partnership with Globoaves, a Brazilian company that distributes,
breed and distributes fertile eggs and chicks.
Dirceu said that, initially, chicken production would be on a family level, in a more structured way, reducing production costs and that as results were achieved the business could be expanded.
Globaves is already working with the government, via the Ministries for Planning and Development, and Agriculture, as well as with the first lady’s office for execution of a family poultry breeding project and setting up the feed factory in the country.
According to Dirceu, as well as poultry breeding, the Brazilian businesspeople are also interested in investing in areas such as tourism, infrastructure development, trade, agriculture and mining.
