Indonesia and Mozambique Advance Cassava Trade Cooperation

Indonesian Trade Minister Budi Santoso met with Mozambique's State Minister for Trade António do Rosário Grispos at ICE BSD in Tangerang on Friday, October 16, 2026.

The Ministry of Trade aims to boost agricultural value addition by adopting advanced cultivation techniques and establishing cassava processing facilities in Mozambique, as part of their investment cooperation strategy.

Santoso emphasized Indonesia's potential to deepen trade with Mozambique through preferential trade agreements, market access expansion, and investment opportunities that generate economic value.

These initiatives are designed to attract foreign investment and strengthen bilateral economic relations by optimizing the Indonesia-Mozambique Preferential Trade Agreement for tariff benefits.
