The Trade Landscape of Mozambique
The tech landscape of Mozambique offers the opportunity to revolutionize its economy. With this, the Mozambican government is initiating various tech initiatives, including the “Digital Mozambique 2025,” a strategy set out by the government to pursue digital inclusion and economic advancements. This creates immense opportunities for Mozambique, making the country advantageous for trade. Mozambique also benefits from well-established East-to-West railroads designed for trade with neighboring countries like Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Malawi.
Mozambique is also a part of various trade agreements, boosting its trade outlook. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) is a regional economic community comprising 16 Member States: Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Transportation Limitations
Shipping to Mozambique can be challenging due to transportation limitations. While the country boasts top-notch ports, its airports are somewhat underdeveloped. Navigating the poor infrastructure can lead to delays, added costs, and increased admin to find the best possible route.
Safety and Corruption
Safety is another concern, given the persistent unrest and prevalent corruption, which makes navigating the trade environment difficult. Despite these hurdles, the ICT market presents numerous investment opportunities. Mozambique, often overlooked yet high in demand, could be a lucrative investment destination in this field.
