With this system, it will be possible to track, in real time, the origin, movement and destination of forest products, thus increasing the control and transparency of operations.
Smuggling, the use of falsified documents, and the illegal reuse of transit permits could see a significant reduction in Mozambique with the implementation of a modern digital tracking system for timber and other forest products.
This initiative represents an important step forward in combating illicit practices that, for years, have harmed the national forestry sector and compromised the sustainable exploitation of natural resources.
It is a platform integrated into the Forest Information System (SIF), developed with the aim of automating licensing processes, improving inspection mechanisms, and strengthening monitoring capacity throughout the timber production and marketing chain.
With this system, it will be possible to track, in real time, the origin, movement, and destination of forest products, thus increasing the control and transparency of operations.
This information was recently released by the National Director of Forests and Wildlife, Imede Falume, at the launch of the 2026-2035 Strategic Plan of the Mozambican Federation of Timber Operators (FEDEMOMA). At the event, the official highlighted that digitalization is a decisive step towards modern, efficient, and transparent management of the country's forest resources.
With these measures, it is expected to strengthen the forestry economy, promote legality, and ensure greater environmental sustainability.
