Johannesburg - An agricultural partnership has been formed to consolidate South African commercial farming interests in Mozambique, AgriSA said on Friday.
The agricultural trade association had partnered with the Mozambican government to form the organisation AgriSaMoz, AgriSA spokesperson Dirk Hanekom said in a statement.
This was a step towards establishing the capacity to improve primary agricultural production in other African countries, he said.
He said the initiative demonstrated AfriSA's efforts and Mozambique's intentions to improve the country's agricultural capacity and food security, and to uplift the rural population through co-ordinated agricultural and industrial developments.
The inaugural meeting of AgriSAMoz was held in Centurion on Thursday and was attended by nearly 100 delegates and business enterprises from all over South Africa and Mozambique.
Hanekom said a constitution was adopted and North West farmer Piet Potgieter, who has farming concerns in Mozambique, was elected president of its executive.
