cultivated acreage, including those areas which the Portuguese
colonialists had set aside for the exclusive cultivation of
cotton and sisal. Also it was necessary for FRELIMO to help the
people in acquiring simple tools of work which they cannot now
buy in Mozambique because Portuguese and Asian traders are not
allowed to move about without the constant presence of the Portuguese army. This means that FRELIMO had to buy thousands of hoes,
hatchets and pangas and distribute them amonst the farming
population. In 1966 we bought and distributed in the province
of Cabo Delgado alone the fillowing farm equipment:
Hoes - 5,000 pieces
Hatchet* - 5,000 pieces
Pangas - 5,000 pieces
This equipment contributed greatly towards the increased
acreage of the cultivated land in Cabo Delgado Province.
The crops most common in Cabo Delgado are sorghum, rice,
cassava, millet, maize, various kinds of beans, cotton, sisal,
cashew nuts, palm oil, tobacco, coffee, groundnuts, etc. In this
same region there are many kinds of hardwood which under normal
peaceful conditions can be converted into commercial timber for
internal use and export.
In Niassa Province the liberation struggle is as well developed
as it is in the Cabo Delgado Province. In Niassa the population
density is much lower than in Cabo Delgado, due to the fact that
the region is large and that a higher proportion of the population
has had to flee to Tanzania and Malawi in the last two years due
to the ruthless manner in which the enemy bomb&tsdfifck and napalm-
bombed their crops. Otherwise the situation in Niassa is very
similar to that in Cabo Delgado. Niassa anjoys the same advantages
of soil and climate, practically the same kind of crops are
produced a8 in Cabo Delgado, and since the armed struggle
liberated this area, similar programmes have been set up to
encourage agricultufcal production. Despite the ferocious Portuguese
air-raids the people have intensified their agricultural
activities and now here too, they produce more than they had
under the Portuguese.
Here too our programme included the importing of agricultufcal
