The Vanduzi Company has announced that it has started a new avocado production and export project that will contribute to the company's growth.

The information was revealed on the sidelines of the Economic Briefing of the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA), which took place last week in Chimoio, Manica province.

According to the Vanduzi Company, quoted by the Evidências portal, the main market for the production of this project will be the European Union.

The company recorded growth of 26% in the first quarter of this year. However, the fresh produce export sector has been affected by rising operating costs due to the increase in air freight which has been the option for export, a fact which has left some companies no longer exporting their products to Europe, but concentrating only on South Africa.
