Mozambique's export sector has undergone significant transformation since 1990, with values rising from USD 126 million to over USD 8.2 billion in 2023. The early 2000s marked a turning point with the introduction of mega-projects, particularly in aluminum smelting, which boosted export revenues to USD 1.5 billion by 2004.
The late 2010s saw a surge in natural resource exports, particularly coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Mozambique's exports rebounded sharply, reaching a peak of USD 8.2 billion in 2022, driven by sustained global demand for energy commodities.
