The Mozambican government, through the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIC), will send four decree-laws regulating agricultural marketing in the country to the Council of Ministers this year.

According to the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Silvino Moreno, who was speaking last Friday (12) during the closing ceremony of the sixth National Agricultural Marketing Forum, these are the decree-laws that regulate marketing margins, commercial activity, markets and fairs and wholesale and retail sales.

"The aim of these legal instruments is to improve the relationship between producers, buyers and sellers," he explained, quoted by the newspaper Radio Mozambique.

During the event, which took place in Niassa province, members of the government and the private sector debated topics such as financing agricultural marketing for food and nutritional guarantees and rural development, the benefits of contracting agricultural insurance for the agricultural sector, among others.
