4.2 Case Studies: Chinese Agribusiness Investment Projects in Mozambique

Mozambique is one of the countries in Africa that hosts the largest number of Chinese agro-investors and the most sizable Chinese agribusiness projects (Tables 4.6 and 4.7). For this reason, it has been chosen as the country case study to investigate China’s ‘agribusiness model’ of development cooperation with Africa. Specifically, four Chinese firms—Wanbao, Hefeng, CAAIC and CACD—and their respective investment projects in Mozambique are selected as the cases of the ‘agribusiness model’ to be examined. These four cases bring to light different types of corporate actors (e.g. private/state-owned/mixed), governmental relations (both with the Chinese and Mozambican), investment fields (e.g. rice/cotton) and modalities (in terms of financing, production and processing). At the same time, they also share certain similarities with each other and thus provide a good basis for a comparative integrated analysis. Among the four cases, that of Wanbao is treated as the key case given its representativeness and three others as complementary cases.
