Mozambique has planted the first field trial of Genetically Engineered (GE) corn in the Chókwè District of Gaza Province in the southern part of the country on February 18, 2017, as part of the Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) program. Post expects that trials will continue and results will be shared in 2018.
