Mozambique: Major Changes in Export Rules for Pigeon Peas – Source
Season 2025-26
★ The Government of Mozambique has introduced significant changes in the export regulations for agricultural products, particularly pulses, for the upcoming 2025-26 season. These changes will be applicable from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026.
~~~~~~
New rules for exporters:
★ All exporters must now register with the local Agriculture Ministry or relevant authority.
★ Exporters must prove that the pigeon peas were procured directly from farmers at fair prices.
★ Exported pigeon peas must now carry quality certification, including the Certificate of Origin and Phytosanitary Certificate, issued by DNSAB or ICM (authorized agencies).
★ Digital tracking systems will be implemented, requiring each shipment to be tracked via QR codes or other digital platforms.
★ The final list of approved exporters will be released on July 31, 2025.
★ A Minimum Export Price (MEP) may be imposed to prevent underpricing in the international market.

Additional notes:
★ Unregistered or informal exporters may initially face procedural and compliance-related challenges.
★ Indian importers should also prepare for increased formalities and documentation, as these new rules may impact supply chain timelines and paperwork.
