Mozambique macadamia venture moves towards an orderly exit
A Southern African agribusiness has agreed to dispose of two Mozambique macadamia businesses for nominal consideration after a strategic review found that the operation remained dependent on financial support.
The businesses recorded a combined loss of R300.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2026. The transaction would also remove approximately R89.3 million in outstanding debt and accrued interest from the seller’s consolidated accounts.
The disposal remains subject to regulatory and other approvals. The prospective owner has committed funding to keep the operation running or support an orderly wind-down before completion.
Why This Matters
The proposed exit illustrates the capital, operating and country risks that can determine whether large orchard investments remain commercially sustainable.
