E.B. Zoomers Copromotoren: Dr. ir. G. van der Haar Dr. H.J. van Noorloos Abstract The interest in the governance of land and other resources in developing countries has intensified over the past two decades in response to the increased pressures registered due to land-based investments. These pressures derived from global in- terests to remedy the food and energy crisis of the 80s but were also a result of public and private interests at national level involving large extensions of land in di©erent sectors. The manner in which these interests and investments have been addressed, has fuelled concerns both at the national and international levels due to negative social and environmental impacts. In general, land-based investments have failed to respect and protect citizens’ and community rights. Citizens and communities are often marginalized from decision-making processes, loose their land rights permanently or see them substantially restricted in both size and quali- ty, and rarely share any meaningful benefits.This thesis analysed this reality using the Republic of Mozambique as a case study, due to its reputation as a country with a progressive policy and legal framework that balances community and in- vestors’ land rights so that citizens can e©ectively benefit from land-based invest- ments. While thanks to these provisions the Mozambican 1997 Land Law has been described as one of the best in Africa, based on the research findings, the main conclusion of this thesis is that there are good elements in the Mozambican legal framework for participatory and inclusive land governance but in practice commu- nity rights protection, participation and benefit sharing do not actually materialize and, so far, neither procedural nor distributive justice objectives have been achieved. 5 Samenvatting In de afgelopen twee decennia is de interesse in beleid rondom land en natuurlijke hulpbronnen in ontwikkelingslanden sterk toegenomen, doordat investeringen in land een grote druk op land en hulpbronnen hebben veroorzaakt. Deze druk kwam aan de ene kant doordat er op globaal niveau steeds meer belang was bij het oplos- sen van de voedselcrisis en energiecrisis vanaf de jaren ’80, maar ook doordat in veel landen nationale overheden en bedrijven in verschillende sectoren veel belang hadden bij het opkopen van grote stukken land. De manier waarop deze investerin- gen hebben plaatsgevonden heeft geleid tot grote zorg op nationaal en internation- aal niveau, met name vanwege de negatieve sociale – en milieugevolgen. Over het algemeen hebben investeringen in land de rechten van burgers en gemeenschappen niet beschermd en gerespecteerd. Burgers en gemeenschappen worden vaak gemar- ginaliseerd in besluitvorming, verliezen permanent hun landrechten of zien hun land flink teruggaan in omvang en kwaliteit, en de verwachte voordelen van de investeringen worden nauwelijks gematerialiseerd. In deze dissertatie wordt deze problematiek behandeld met Mozambique als casus, omdat dit land bekend staat om een progressief beleid en juridisch raamwerk op het gebied van landrechten. In dit beleid zijn – op papier - de belangen en landrechten van gemeenschappen en investeerders met elkaar in balans, zodat burgers daadwerkelijk zouden kunnen profiteren van landinvesteringen. De Mozambikaanse landwet van 1997 staat dan ook bekend als een van de beste van Afrika. Echter, dit onderzoek laat zien dat er, ondanks de goede elementen in het Mozambikaanse juridische raamwerk voor par- ticipatief en inclusief landbeleid, in de praktijk zeer weinig terechtkomt van het beschermen van de rechten van gemeenschappen, participatie en het delen in de voordelen van investeringen. Tot dusver is rechtvaardigheid op het gebied van par- ticipatie en ook op het gebied van de verdeling van kosten en opbrengsten niet ge- realiseerd. 6 Contents ONE: INTRODUCTION (19) I.

  • Brazil and China in Mozambican Agriculture
    3 Chichava IDSB44.4.qxd 18/06/2013 14:46 Page 101 Brazil and China in Mozambican Agriculture: Emerging Insights from View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE the Field provided by IDS OpenDocs Sérgio Chichava, Jimena Duran, Lídia Cabral, Alex Shankland, Lila Buckley, Tang Lixia and Zhang Yue Abstract Mozambique, a country undergoing rapid transformations driven by the recent discovery of mineral resources, is one of the top destinations for Chinese and Brazilian cooperation and investment in Africa. This article provides an account of the policies, narratives, operational modalities and underlying motivations of Brazilian and Chinese development cooperation in Mozambique. It is particularly interested in understanding how the engagements are perceived and talked about, what drives them and what formal and informal relations are emerging at the level of particular exchanges. The article draws on three cases (1) ProSavana, Brazil’s current flagship programme in Mozambique, which aims to transform the country’s savanna, spreading along the Nacala corridor, drawing on Brazil’s own experience in the Cerrado; (2) the Chinese Agricultural Technology Demonstration Centre (ATDC); and (3) a private Chinese rice investment project in the Xai-Xai irrigation scheme, which builds on a technical cooperation initiative. Commonalities and differences between the Brazilian and Chinese approaches are discussed. 1 Introduction Rosário (2012) emphasises instead the political Since Mozambique’s independence in 1975, motivations underlying agricultural governance, official policy discourse has unremittingly arguing that private interests and electoral represented agriculture as the backbone of the objectives have been key drivers of policy economy.

  • Shackled Orange: Biofortified Varieties in the Sweetpotato Commodity Chain in Mozambique
    Shackled orange: biofortified varieties in the sweetpotato commodity chain in Mozambique Roland Brouwer1 & Ilaria Tedesco2 Abstract Biofortified, orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) varieties are being promoted as a part of a strategy to reduce Vitamin A Deficiency among rural and urban populations in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper uses the commodity chain approach to understand whether markets may stimulate or not the production of the new orange sweetpotato varieties on Mozambique’s main consumer market, Maputo, its capital and largest city. It shows that the chain linking rural producers to the city’s consumers is operated by private actors; the government provides basic infrastructures and price information. International donors are involved through the dissemination of planting material and nutrition information in support the marketing of OFSP. The commodity chains of white and orange-fleshed varieties are entwined with no clear price differences. The annual marketed volume is estimated at 8,000 tonnes, mostly produced by smallholders and sold to consumers by sidewalk and open-air market retailers. This market segment is dominated by women. A small group of specialized - male and female - commercial OFSP producers supplies about 0.5% to 1% of this market selling directly to a specific group of clients who either buy at farm gate or through home delivery. The conclusion is that the existing commodity chain fails to stimulate the production of OFSP and the expansion of its benefits to wider sections of the population suggesting that the emphasis should be on having biofortified varieties that can compete successfully with the conventional ones at the farm-level.

Zwane. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper seeks to assess the factors influencing the adoption of the improved crop management practices (ICMP) in Boane District in Mozambique. The study was carried out using a qualitative survey method with a semi-structured interview schedule. Regression analysis and Pearson correlations were used to analyse the factors, constraints, and opportunities influencing the adoption of the improved crop management practices. The study covered a sample of 50 households. The results of the study show that the majority of the farmers (68%) in the Boane District adopted the improved crop management practices, compared to those who did not adopt them (32%). According to the logistic regression analysis, two factors (age and access to credit) were significant (p<0.05) at the 5% level of significance with the adoption of ICMP, meaning that age and access to credit have an influence on the adoption of the improved crop management practices in the Boane District. The study recommended that the Agricultural Development Fund and the district development should solve the challenge of low financial investments, which is the major problem of most smallholder farmers, limiting their response to the production process, and to adopting the improved crop management practices in the Boane District.

Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the soil loss vulnerability Soil Loss in the Boane district in 2018. The materials used included OLI Landsat 8 and ASTER GDTM V2 images, through which we generated land use and cover and slope maps respectively, soils, lithology, and precipitation databases available in CENACARTA. This data was processed in a GIS environment. The results showed that 53.3% of the district had median stability, 34.7% moderately vulnerable, 11.4% moderately stable, 0.6% stable and 0% vulnerable. These results indicate a favorable situation, but not comfortable at the short term, due to the accelerated rhythm of urbanization and its consequences to the environment that is seen in the last decades, joined to the lack or non- implementation of the main planning plans, that can change this situation in short term. 1Instituto de Formação em Administração de Terras e Cartografia, Matola, Moçambique.
