Análise do contributo socioeconómico da indústria agro- alimentar no posto administrativo de Lionde: caso de estudo Empresa Wanbao entre 2012-2022

Abstract

The agri-food industry in Mozambique could be a driving force for agriculture, considered key to economic development, an element for equity in social development, and fundamental to reducing poverty and hunger. It encompasses all activities related to the production, processing, distribution, and marketing of food, from agriculture to the end consumer's table. Thus, this research project aims to analyze the socioeconomic impact of the Wanbao project on the Lionde administrative post since its implementation between 2012 and 2022. This research project will utilize bibliographical research, direct observation, structured interviews directed to the population of the Lionde administrative post, and semi-structured interviews with representatives of the Wanbao company and representatives of the local administrative structure. For the analysis and interpretation of the results, both the quantitative method (tables explaining quantitative issues such as the number of workers hired, jobs created, and income from surplus sales) and the qualitative method (which will serve as an interpretative method for the behavior of the variables under study) will be used. The analysis of the potential implementation of the Wanbao agrifood project is justified by the vital role it plays in the well-being of local communities and the national economy, making it a prominent sector in the current context of Mozambican socioeconomic development.
