Special Economic Zones (SEZ)
Mozambique has established Special Economic Zones (SEZ) and Industrial Free Zones (IFZ) to catalyze Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and industrial diversification. These designated areas offer a premier business environment characterized by world-class infrastructure, simplified licensing, and a highly competitive fiscal and customs regime, all governed under the national Investment Law framework.
Beluluane Industrial Park (IFZ)
Strategically situated on the Maputo Development Corridor, this is the nation's largest industrial hub. It specializes in aluminum smelting, heavy industry, and manufacturing, benefiting from seamless connectivity to the Port of Maputo and South African markets.
Nacala Special Economic Zone
Centered around one of East Africa's deepest natural ports, Nacala serves as a vital trade gateway. It is a priority zone for logistics, large-scale agro-processing, and export-oriented manufacturing targeting Asian and Middle Eastern markets.
Beira Corridor SEZ
A critical logistics node serving landlocked SADC nations (Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi). This zone focuses on intermodal transport services, mineral processing, and agricultural value-chain development.
Palma SEZ (Energy Hub)
Designed to support the multi-billion dollar Rovuma Basin LNG projects. It serves as the primary base for oil and gas support services, heavy construction, and planned urban development for the energy sector.
