Cereal production

What is this?

Harvested cereals (mainly maize, rice, sorghum) in tonnes.

How to read it

  • Swings with rainfall, cyclones and droughts.
  • Unit: million tonnes.

What does the data say?

Cereal production (Mozambique) is 2.66 million tonnes (2024), 300.6% higher than in 1980. Over the last year: +8.0%.

Over all 45 observations since 1980, the highest was 2.83 (2022) and the lowest 0.24 (1992).

Why does it matter?

  • Households: Food availability and prices.
  • Businesses: Agro-processing supply.
  • Government: Food security.
  • Investors: Agri exposure.
  • Mobile money: Harvest income may lift rural transaction activity. Potential, not proven: check against internal transaction data before acting on it.

What should I watch?
