Abstract: This report summarizes an appraisal of input utilization and marketing in Mozambique, focusing on the following research questions: (1) what are current smallholder yields for major commodities, and what is the potential for increasing yields through the use of improved technologies? (2) to what extent are improved technologies already being used by smallholders, and is the use of improved technologies profitable? (3) how are improved seeds, fertilizer and pesticides currently produced and distributed? and (4) what are the key constraints and opportunities for increasing the use of improved technologies by smallholders?
