USAID Feed the Future (FTF) PREMIER - Promoting Innovative and Resilient Agriculture Market Systems is a USAID/Mozambique grant opportunity focused on improving how agricultural markets function in northern Mozambique, with a specific geographic emphasis on the Nacala Corridor. The core idea is to spark lasting, system-wide change in agricultural market systems by tackling the underlying reasons the system performs poorly, rather than only providing short-term support to individual farmers or firms. The program is designed to find "leverage points" where targeted interventions can unlock larger, self-sustaining improvements across value chains and supporting services, leading to higher incomes and more jobs, with particular attention to youth and women.
The opportunity uses a market systems development approach, meaning the project would work through local market actors (such as agribusinesses, input suppliers, buyers, service providers, and financial institutions) instead of substituting for them. In practice, this implies facilitating partnerships and providing technical and financial assistance in ways that encourage market actors to invest, innovate, and expand their services to producers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The end goal is to broaden and deepen market engagement so that more farmers and agri-SMEs can reliably access buyers, inputs, services, and finance, and can do so on terms that improve profitability and long-term competitiveness.
A major program objective is to increase profitability for agricultural producers and SMEs by improving their access to markets and financial services. This can include strengthening linkages between farmers and off-takers, improving the reliability and quality of aggregation and trading, supporting adoption of better production and post-harvest practices that meet market requirements, and helping enterprises and producers become more "bankable" so they can use credit, savings, insurance, or other financial tools to grow. Alongside growth and income objectives, the program also places emphasis on resilience to climate change, reflecting the need for agricultural market systems in the corridor to withstand climate-related shocks and stresses, adapt practices and business models, and reduce vulnerability over time.
Geographically, the project targets the Nacala Corridor, centered across Nampula Province in northern Mozambique and extending into northern Zambezia, southern Niassa, and southwestern Cabo Delgado. This corridor focus suggests an intent to build scalable market linkages and service networks along a strategic trade and transport route where improvements in production, aggregation, processing, and logistics can translate into broader economic benefits. The program also explicitly highlights inclusive economic impacts, aiming to translate market system improvements into increased incomes and employment opportunities, especially for youth and women who often face barriers to land, finance, training, and formal market participation.
