For the case of Mozambique with around 28 million inhabitants, in which around 80% have agriculture as their source of income and subsistence. On the other hand, Mozambique has a young population, approximately 60%.

The state must maintain the role of deferring development policies, regulating and supervising economic activity.

For a better engagement of empowerment of young people and women in agricultural activity, it is necessary to create active policies and instruments that entice the younger layers to look at agriculture as a source of employment, income and wealth generation, with a strong investment in development through incentives and stimuli. 

The agricultural value chain has several employability opportunities for young people, sharing information and opportunities is enough.
