Original language description
Tobacco is the largest agrarian export crops in Mozambique. The product plays an important role in poverty reduction as serves as an alternative source of income for rural family farmers, thus contributing to the welfare of the rural population and rural development in the cultivating areas in the country. Against this backdrop, this contribution analysis the value chain and some determinants of tobacco production in Mozambique. Using descriptive and regression approaches, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression results show that the harvested area, yields, rainfall, exports, trade openness and world price have positive impacts on tobacco production in Mozambique. However, the monopsony created by the government in the tobacco sector may have negative implications for rural smallholder tobacco farmers in the country. The government should create the condition for competition in the tobacco sector, to encourage of the private sector into tobacco manufacturing and other related activities within the country.
