This thesis analyzes how the Mozambican government can implement policies to support cashew farmers. To achieve these conclusions, insights on the country’s cashew value chain were obtained during a 3-month internship at an international project, which operates at a local level. Building upon that experience, research was done on the topic of agricultural policies, which was then used to evaluate Mozambique’s current governmental action. Finally, a new set of policies was proposed, with the goal of benefitting cashew farmers’ well-being.
