Mozambique Institute of Agricultural Research

The Mozambique Institute of Agricultural Research (IIAM) is the country’s national public agricultural R&D organization, headquartered in Maputo with a nationwide network of stations that enables year‑round, field‑based innovation. Co‑located experimental farms and labs support breeding and seed system development, while multi‑site trials link directly to producers and input suppliers. Close collaboration with ministry extension services enables rapid piloting and scale‑up with smallholder and commercial growers. Research is funded by the Government of Mozambique alongside competitive international development and research grants, with standard agreements in place for collaboration, data use, testing protocols, and responsible germplasm exchange.
