Mozambique

Operations 

Mozambique cotton production is unique in the region, being based on a concession system. Plexus’ operations are in northern Mozambique, with the concession covering Cabo Delgado & Nampula provinces. Today, we are the biggest single employer and commercial enterprise in the region, and the largest cotton producer in the country.

Plexus operates two ginneries in Mozambique with a combined capacity of around 60,000MT of seed cotton. During the season we employ over 1,600 people in field and ginning operations. We have developed extensive farmer contact networks and systems to enable education, training and the provision of key inputs. All of this is designed to increase yields, crops and incomes for the 70,000 farmers with whom we work.

Sustainable Development

As with Ghana & Malawi, Plexus Mozambique is part of COMPACI – the Competitive African Cotton Initiative. Within this framework the company works to increase farmer productivity & cotton quality through the introduction and intensification of good agricultural practices and the strengthening of sustainable cultivation.

The cotton produced in Mozambique is Cotton Made in Africa –verified. Plexus has established relationships with brands and retailers in order to develop sustainable CMIA & BCI cotton supply-chains and provide consumers with the transparency and audited sustainability credentials that the market increasingly demands.
