href=\"https:\/\/www.cgiar.org\/\">CGIAR<\/a> participated in the launch of the 2025\/2026 Mozambique agricultural campaign on 13 November, marking the beginning of the rainy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a strategic partner that has actively contributed to improving agricultural production and productivity in Mozambique, offering innovations in resilient varieties and improved seeds, climate-smart agricultural practices, inoculants, and aflasafe, IITA was invited by the Government to participate in the event, which took place in the province of Nampula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the launch, IITA showcased its potential, mainly in new varieties of cowpea, sesame, and soybean seeds, and explained to the Governor of Nampula province, Eduardo Mariamo Abdula, how it has contributed to and impacted the lives of communities, with an emphasis on small holder farmers, through partnerships that help facilitate access to seeds, develop the capacity in improved agricultural production techniques adapted to climate change, facilitate market access for the sale of agricultural produce and thus improve incomes, as well as improving diet through the adoption of healthy and accessible eating habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><figure id=\"attachment_33875\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33875\"

reduced poverty in Mozambique, and for this we count on the efforts of the government, the private sector, partners, and producers to ensure that Nampula continues to be a breadbasket of the country,\u201d appealed Governor Abdula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event lasted one day and was attended by state institutions dedicated to agriculture, including the Agricultural Research Institute of Mozambique (IIAM), as well as provincial and district agricultural directorates, agricultural producers, and other partners involved in the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><figure id=\"attachment_33876\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33876\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img
