The agricultural sector in Mozambique is made up majority small-scale and subsistence farmers; around 80 percent of all farmers; with weak linkages to markets and productive value chains. Market participation is clearly dependent upon the risk and the technology facing the farmer; and market segmentation is high. Mozambican agricultural policy focuses on increasing yields; through better technologies; and improving market access. About 7.3 percent of the farmers belonged to a farmers’ organization in 2005. It is difficult to assess all farmers’ organizations in Mozambique generally as there are many different types; fragmented with less growth traction. Even so; their performance has been mixed. There has been a lot of support from various development partners towards supporting farmer organization; including associations and cooperatives; as a vehicle to improve agricultural productivity (technology transfer; technical assistance); increasing farmers income and jobs; as well as linking farmers to markets; with increased aggregation and bargaining power; as well as value addition from primary agricultural production.The experiences from farmer organizations learnt have not been well documented to better understand why there is limited traction towards farmer organizations. On the part of Government; several attempts have been made; particularly in creating an enabling environment for the farmer organization; for example the development of cooperative law. Support to farmer organization is also central to fulfil the Agrarian Sector Strategic Plan (PEDSA II); commonly called ‘Plano Estrategio de Desenvolvimento do Sector Agrarian’ particularly towards key result areas on improving agricultural productivity and value chains and market linkages. There is need to carry out detailed review to better understand the status of farmer organizations; associations; and cooperatives; to identify appropriate entry points for them to improve agricultural productivity; value chain development; jobs; incomes; and market linkages.The main objective of the diagnosis is to assess the performance of farmer organizations; as a vehicle towards achieving improved productivity; value addition; market linkages; income; and jobs in the Mozambique agrarian context.
