The resettlement of civil war refugees and successful economic reform have led to a high growth rate : the country enjoyed a remarkable recovery , achieving an average annual rate of economic growth of 8 % between 1996 and 2006 and between 6 – 7 % from 2006 to 2011 . The devastating floods of early 2000 slowed GDP growth to 2.1 % , but a full recovery was achieved in 2001 with growth of 14.8 % . . Rapid expansion in the future hinged on several major foreign investment projects , continued economic reform , and the revival of the agriculture , transportation , and tourism sectors . In 2013 about 80 % of the population was employed in agriculture , the majority of whom were engaged in small-scale subsistence farming which still suffered from inadequate infrastructure , commercial networks , and investment . However , in 2012 , more than 90 % of Mozambique 's arable land was still uncultivated
