The Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA) states that the floods that have affected the country in recent weeks are creating losses of various kinds to the national private business sector. The Confederation highlights losses in infrastructure, the horticultural sector and banana production. Although it is still surveying the damage and losses in the business sector, the CTA says that preliminary indications indicate the existence of enormous losses in the form of destruction of agricultural crops, commercial establishments, machinery, drainage routes, among others. As a result of these rains, the Confederation understands that the normal supply of food items such as vegetables, in the coming weeks, will be restricted, mainly in the south zone. In a statement sent to “Carta”, the CTA also specifically points out losses in the banana sector. In this sector, the Confederation states that revenues for 2024 are already highly compromised due to excessive rains and winds which, in addition to causing direct damage (falling of plants and compromising their shoots and, consequently, the harvests of 2024 and 2025) , are also causing the emergence of many pests, which are attacking crops with great intensity. The CTA used the statement to express its solidarity with the victims of the shipwreck that occurred off the coast of Mozambique, Nampula province, Mossuril district. “Imbued with the spirit of solidarity, the CTA began a mobilization with the business community and hopes to channel support soon. To the bereaved families, our deepest condolences and the appeal for appropriate measures to be taken so that similar disasters do not happen again”, reads in the statement.
