Mozambique's economy is driven by natural resources, agriculture, and energy. Large natural gas reserves position it as a future global LNG exporter, with projects attracting international investment. Agriculture employs most of the population, producing crops like cassava, maize, and sugar. Coal and aluminum exports also contribute to GDP. Despite its resource wealth, Mozambique faces challenges such as poverty, debt burdens, and regional conflict. Infrastructure development and improved governance are key to unlocking growth. Long-term, natural gas exports could transform the economy, while regional trade, agriculture modernization, and renewable energy offer additional growth opportunities for the country's GDP.
