Stamps showing the crops grown in Mozambique during the civil war period (1977–1992). Unfortunately, in 1981, the agricultural sector in Mozambique was stagnant, with gross production increasing by only 8.8% between 1977 and 1981. While production of export crops like tea, cotton, and citrus saw increases, there were significant shortfalls in cereals, vegetables, and oilseeds. This led to a decline in per capita food production, despite significant investment in the sector, which employed over 70% of the population.
