Case IH has appointed Entreposto Comercial de Moçambique as its official distributor in the Republic of Mozambique. The new dealership was celebrated with a Field Day, held on July 5th at the Instituto Superior Politécnico de Manica, the polytechnic institute based in the city of Chimoio.

More than 100 highly qualified invitees attended the event, including the Manica Provincial Director of Finance, Mr. Virgulino Nhate, the Head of the Local Government of the Vanduzi district, Mr. Eugénio Lambo, and other local government officials and traditional leaders as well as local farmers, representatives from Tongaat Hulet in Beira, academic delegates, students from the Institute, commercial bank representatives and local media. The one-day field demonstration offered a unique opportunity to present the Case IH brand and its full range of agricultural equipment, distributed in the country under the new partnership with Entreposto Comercial de Moçambique.

The Field Day created a lot of interest and gave attendees the occasion to see in action a selection of top-notch Case IH equipment, including some JX75T tractors during normal plowing, disking and planting operations in specially prepared fields.

“Case IH is a premium brand we are very familiar with,” said Paulo Ferreira, Business Director at Entreposto Comercial de Moçambique. “Our parent company has been successfully selling Case IH agricultural equipment for more than 30 years in Portugal and, based on this long-term relationship, we are now ready to support the brand’s offering in Mozambique.”

The country is one of the fastest growing in the world and agriculture plays a key-role in stimulating the overall economic development, as highlighted by Ozkan Eren, Marketing Manager for Case IH in Africa and the Middle East: “Although the majority of farmers in Mozambique are still engaged in subsistence practices, the agriculture sector accounts for more than one third of the gross domestic product and has a great potential for rapid, continued growth in the long run. Leveraging on our extensive knowledge and expertise and a full range of powerful and reliable agricultural equipment, we are ready to support the local Government and private sector’s efforts to revitalize and strengthen the Mozambican agricultural sector.”

"This partnership is very important for our country, which has an urgent need for agricultural mechanization. Together with Case IH, we are committed to sell the most reliable, productive agricultural equipment solutions available in the market," added Ferreira.

“Entreposto Comercial de Moçambique has been in the agribusiness sector for about 70 years, gaining impressive experience and reputation in the country. We are confident that they are just the right partner to build a strong, recognizable brand image and to provide our local customers with the best sales and after sales services throughout Mozambique.” said William Murengami, Case IH Business Manager for Mozambique, who attended the Field Day together with Paul Duffy, Case IH Southern Africa Business Director.
