President Daniel Chapo on Monday launched PROSPERA, an initiative designed to improve access for producers in the agriculture, livestock and fisheries sectors to technical assistance, information, financing and markets.

According to O País, the programme was presented in the village of Miala, Sanga district, in Niassa province, during the central ceremony marking the launch of the 2026–27 agricultural campaign, held under the theme ‘Let Us Produce to Feed Mozambique’.

PROSPERA is intended to function as a linkage platform connecting producers to the range of services available across the sector, enabling access to technical knowledge, information on opportunities, and early warnings related to climate risks.

Among the tools envisaged is the ‘Olá Produtor’ service, which combines artificial intelligence with specialist assistance to respond to farmers’ queries and support the work carried out by agricultural extension officers in the field.

During the event, Daniel Chapo clarified that PROSPERA does not constitute a direct financing mechanism, nor is it a programme for the distribution of inputs or equipment. He explained that the initiative was designed to facilitate producers’ access to services, knowledge and opportunities that already exist.

At the same occasion, the National Seed Traceability and Labelling System was presented — a digital solution intended to allow verification of the origin and authenticity of inputs through QR codes and mobile phone messages.

The system is expected to help combat the sale of counterfeit seeds, strengthening producer protection and reducing the risks associated with the use of inputs that carry no quality guarantee.
