Agricultural landscape in Mozambique

Investing in the last mile
of African agriculture.

Mozambique has fertile land, a young workforce and a strategic position on the Indian Ocean. What's missing is the last mile: the investment, the know-how, and the tools that turn ambition into harvest.

Last Mile Up is built to close that gap. We invest where it counts, operate where it matters, and build the software the sector has been waiting for.

We currently manage a 10-hectare horticulture operation in southern Mozambique, working alongside partners in organic inputs and advanced plant nutrition.

The farm operates both as a commercial production unit and as a field laboratory, where we continuously test fertigation protocols, microbial and organic amendments, irrigation systems, varietal performance, and practical approaches to resilient vegetable production in a challenging climate context.

Through this work, we collaborate with partners in organic inputs, regenerative agriculture, and precision agronomy, translating field observations into scalable operational systems for smallholder and commercial farming alike.

We work closely with the local community, supporting over 50 families with seasonal employment and over 80 local micro-entrepreneurs (mostly women) who purchase produce directly on farm.

Everything we do is data driven. We developed a farm management platform — Farm Tracker — designed around the realities of field operations in Mozambique, enabling teams to track production, labor, irrigation, inputs, sales, and field performance directly from the farm.

Bela Vista Coffee Estate | Sea-Level Agroforestry Coffee

We are launching Bela Vista Coffee Estate, a 20ha coffee farm, processing facility and innovation platform located in Matutuíne District, southern Mozambique.

Sea-level coffee can become a distinctive and competitive category within specialty coffee. As climate change places increasing pressure on traditional coffee-growing regions, resilient coffee species and varieties will play an increasingly important role in securing the future of the sector.

Working across a diverse portfolio of coffee species and varieties — including Arabica, Robusta, Liberica and Racemosa — the estate will uncover the potential of sea-level coffee production within highly diversified agroforestry systems. By combining biological soil management, precision nutrition, efficient irrigation and innovative post-harvest processing, we will produce distinctive, high-quality coffees while developing production models adapted to the realities of a changing climate.

Beyond production, Bela Vista Coffee Estate will serve as a hub for processing, training, farmer engagement and knowledge generation, helping lay the foundations for a new coffee ecosystem in Mozambique and Southern Africa.

We are at the beginning of this journey. We have secured the land for the project, started producing seedlings in our nursery, and began building a stellar roster of local, regional and international sector-experts. We are now looking for investors and partners to help us develop the farm, scale production, processing and market.

Pillars
01

Production

Regenerative agronomy for unique, resilient coffee

The estate will work across a diverse portfolio of coffee species and varieties, combining commercially proven genetics with emerging specialty coffees. Through agroforestry, biological soil management, precision nutrition and efficient irrigation, we aim to produce high-quality coffee while developing production systems adapted to Southern Africa's coastal environments.

02

Processing and Alchemy

Turning harvest into value

Exceptional coffee is created after harvest as much as in the field. The project will invest in specialized processing, fermentation and quality control systems to unlock the full potential of each coffee variety and create distinctive coffees linked to our origin.

03

Markets

Connecting origin to opportunity

By developing a unique brand and building relationships with roasters, buyers and coffee professionals, we aim to position Southern Mozambique as an emerging coffee origin. Our portfolio will combine commercially established coffees, rare specialty offerings and unique blends capable of accessing premium markets.

04

Network

Building a stronger coffee ecosystem

The initiative brings together growers, processors, researchers, roasters and industry experts to accelerate learning, improve quality and create new opportunities for coffee development across Southern Africa.

05

Community Development

Growing together with farming communities

Through seedling production, technical support, training and market access, we aim to support local farmers interested in integrating coffee into diversified agroforestry systems and becoming part of a growing regional coffee sector.

06

Training and Capacity Building

Developing the next generation of coffee professionals

The project will serve as a hands-on learning platform for Mozambican students, young professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs. Through partnerships with technical institutes, universities and vocational training centers, participants will gain practical experience across the entire coffee value chain, from nursery management and production to processing, quality control, marketing and business development.

07

Digital Solutions & IoT

Using technology to improve every stage of the value chain

From production and irrigation management to processing, traceability and market access, digital tools are integrated throughout the estate. Sensors, farm management software and data-driven decision-making help optimize productivity, quality and resource efficiency, while traceability systems connect every coffee lot to its origin, production practices and processing history.
