Abstract: Progress toward improved and more sustainable food security in recent years in Mozambique is evident in three dimensions: 1) increasing per capita calorie availability in the face of dramatic reductions in food aid, 2) lower and more stable prices for the principal domestically produced staple, white maize, and 3) a food system which now provides consumers with a broader range of low-cost staples from which to choose.
