SEA, Mozambique’s Nampula sign oilseed corridor pact as India eyes Africa for edible oil
Two sustainability organisations, Solidaridad Network Asia and Solidaridad Southern Africa, have joined as partners to make sure the corridor is built on fair terms for farmers and without clearing forests
India's Solvent Extractors' Association (SEA) and the Government of Nampula Province in Mozambique have signed a pact to explore a sustainable oilseed and vegetable oil corridor between Nampula and India. The agreement, signed during Globoil India 2026 in Mumbai, involves sustainability organizations Solidaridad Network Asia and Solidaridad Southern Africa, who will ensure fair terms for farmers and protect forests during the project.
Nampula Province, a leading farm province in Mozambique, has untapped arable land suitable for oilseed crops like groundnut, soybean, sesame, and oil palm. The three-year exploratory phase will study the opportunity, with each party responsible for its own costs and seeking funding from development partners and financial institutions.
