Abstract
Abstract: Information in agriculture is relevant, as it keeps the producer connected with events of a productive and commercial nature. The article aims to identify and analyze the determinants of access to information for vegetable producers in the southern region of Mozambique. The research was explanatory, descriptive, with a qualitative and quantitative approach and an applied nature. The research was primary and secondary. For data collection in the field, questionnaires were distributed to 384 rural producers who produce and commercialize vegetables. The participants were chosen randomly in stratified probabilistic sampling. The research took place between February and June 2019. Data analysis was descriptive and econometric, using the binary logit model. As a result, the profile of the producers was made up of people aged between 19 and 85 years, of which 50% have no school education, composed of men (46%) and women (54%) who farm intensively in small areas. The statistically significant explanatory variables and determinants to access to information were: age, belonging to a cooperative/producer association, experience in production, satisfaction with financial return, technical assistance, access to credit, yield produced per harvest, use of the telephone in negotiation, the form used to commercialize the produce and production management.
