Armando Guebuza, president of Mozambique, recently expressed his optimism with regard to new irrigation schemes that are currently under construction in the country.
The new irrigation systems could see in the Xai-Xai district, located in the southern province of Gaza, Mozambique drastically reduce its import of rice.
After visiting the Lower Limpopo Irrigation
Scheme, Guebuza told local reporters that with the current expansion of
the scheme, rice imports could be cut by 100,000 tonnes in the next few
years.
Currently the irrigation scheme could produce 14,000 hectares of rice.
