Over the last three decades, the governments of various countries around the world, including Mozambique, have been focusing on the local economic development model, which essentially states that development should be a process that has its starting point in resources (economic, material and human), in the potential of each municipality, district or province, and above all, in SMEs, which occupy a strategic position in reducing poverty and promoting economic development. This book reflects on the contribution of SMEs in general, and mills in particular, to Local Economic Development, and is therefore an important theoretical contribution to readers. In fact, this is a masterpiece whose relevance concerns not only Mozambique, but also, and above all, all developing countries, so the acquisition and reading of this book is a necessary recommendation to broaden the horizons of entrepreneurs, businesspeople, researchers, academics, government officials and other interested parties.
