For the first time Grupo Moçfer S.A was present at the Facim fair 2009, together with its two subsidiary companies in Mozambique namely: Mia- Moçfer Indústrias Alimentares S.A. based at Chókwè, Gaza Province and Companhia do Vandúzi S.A., Vandúzi, Manica Province. Grupo Moçfer S.A part of the Cepagri stand in Facim.

The main objectives of Grupo Moçfer was to divulge its commercial objectives in Mozambique, the different products that both Mia and Companhia de Vandúzi produce and offer the various markets in which they operate in.

During 2008, Companhia de Vandúzi S.A. was one of companies with largest export growth in Mozambique of perishable products. Therefore, on August 31st 2009, opening day of FACiM 2009, Companhia de Vandúzi was awarded with a prize by IPEX (Instituto para a Promoção das Exportações) Mozambique´s Institute for the promotion of all exported goods.

MIA (Moçfer Industrias Alimentares, SA) has been given the privilige ofusing  the Made in Mozambique logo on all product lines and marketing materials.

The ceremony was held on September 17^th, at MIA´s headquarters in Chókwè.

It is with great pride that MIA receives this logo, as it is one of MIA´s differentiating factors. MIA wants to be identified as the grower and supplier of high quality, 100% Mozambican grown rice.

The successes of organizations doesn´t depend solely of the company´s structure, but also of the motivation and team spirit that prevails amongst its members.

This is what I found at Mozfoods S.A., a company that is made up of people from all corners of the globe, driven by enthusiasm and geared towards providing excellence in its customer service.

The recognition of the individual’s capacities and the constant training allied to strong company values, in all, they constitute the basis for success.

Working for a company of this kind, opens your mind towards a world of challenges, progress and professional growth, making you face increasing competition from the International market, where only the best can be the best!

Working for Companhia do Vandúzi SA, Mozfoods S.A., is a unique experience of being involved in operations in Africa where we are having to compete with companies worldwide in order to conquer first world markets.

Working for Companhia do Vandúzi is the opportunity of making the dream of turning Mozambican companies successful, come true.

Professionally, the learning process to which I was exposed to and the opportunities of being able to learn from gurus, specialists in their fields, is a privilege that has contributed positively to development of my career. Here, continuous development is the motto for all.

I initially started at Mozfoods S.A. as finance assistant. Not long after I was promoted to Finance Director. I have to recognize the immense support and trust that I have always felt from the Company´s shareholders.
