| Summary: | The innovative approaches and methods
that Technoserve Mozambique (TnsMz) has pioneered have
become best practice templates for other Tns country
operations and, indeed, best practice templates within
Mozambique itself, where TnsMz's successes in the
cashew, banana, and poultry industries are notably
successful. Tns offers no centralized facilities for
practicing and refining business skills, but rather serves
its clients where one do business, in the rural areas where
crops and animals grow. However, it frequently creates
partnerships with industry leaders using sites to
demonstrate and or train new market entrants in best
practices for processing, marketing, logistic management,
and quality control. Its programs are designed to stimulate
investment, job creation, and local economic activity within
commodity-oriented agribusiness sectors, which typically
afford only thin profit margins. TnsMz provides incentives
in the form of grants or matching grants to change behavior
and to introduce new technologies within farm-to-market
chains. In this context, this report presents summary,
background and context, strategic vision, mission, and
targets, TnsMz's distinctive features, brand, and
market position, approach to incubation, business model,
staffing, network partners, current portfolio strategies,
achievements, critical success factors, lessons learned and
implications for agribusiness incubators, and future goals. |
