Mozambique Fisheries Exports: Standards Compliance and the Role of the Regional Standards Programme
February, 2008
The high quality of Mozambique's fish and seafood – especially its prawns – is internationally recognised, particularly by consumers in the EU. This market absorbs more than 80% of all Mozambique fisheries exports and in 2006 an estimated 8,000 tons of Mozambican fish and seafood was sold in Europe. As a least developed country, Mozambique enjoys duty-free access to the EU under the Cotonou Agreement. While trade preferences such as these enhance the overall competitiveness of Mozambique in the EU market, it does not guarantee market access.
