Abstract

This report summarizes an appraisal of input use and marketing in Mozambique focusing on the following research questions: (1) what are current smallholder yields for major commodities and what is the potential for increasing yields by using improved technologies? (2) to what extent are improved technologies already being used by smallholders, and are they profitable? (3) how are improved seeds, fertilizer and pesticides produced and distributed? and (4) what are the key constraints to and opportunities for increasing the use of improved technologies by smallholders?
