An annual, ongoing programme that organises rural harvesters in Manica and Sofala, especially women, to collect amarula (marula) and baobab fruit sustainably. Nura Organica (www.nura.org) is the partner that does the training, buying, processing and marketing of natural products on an ongoing basis, so harvesters are linked to a fair-priced, quality-controlled buyer from the first season. Each season's results feed the next.
Rural households in central Mozambique sit under valuable wild fruit trees yet sell the fruit unprocessed, at very low prices and with no organised market, while poor handling causes losses and unsustainable harvesting threatens the trees.
In Manica Province, more than 2,500 rural women have been trained in baobab harvesting by one buyer, and a collector reports that the price she receives rose from 4 to 12 meticais per kilogram, showing that organised markets can change what communities earn.
Organised harvester groups, a working season calendar, safe drying and storage points, and signed offtake arrangements that deliver a higher and more predictable price to every harvester.
Rural harvesters, mostly women and young people, in Manica and Sofala; their households; and community harvest committees.
