Food processing company Agriterra has opened its second agricultural buying and processing facility in Mozambique.
The facility, located at Tete, has been set up to replicate the company's DECA facility at Chimoio, which has been in operation since 2005.
It has the capacity to process approximately 50,000t of maize per year, collected from approximately 350,000 local producers in the Manica province of Mozambique.
The total storage capacity for maize is currently 12,600t, consisting of four 1,500t silos and one 600t silo, and two large warehouses with capacity to store 3,000t each.
