Angola is set to enhance its coffee production, targeting over 8,000 tons by 2025, reflecting an increase of 2,000 tons from the previous year. This ambitious growth plan is backed by rising investments from both farmers and companies in the coffee sector. Vasco Goncalves, the director-general of the National Coffee Institute, indicates that the increase stems from these financial commitments to improve cultivation practices and production methods.
The domestic market prices for a ton of commercial coffee currently range from 2 million to 3 million kwanza, equivalent to approximately 2,192 to 3,289 U.S. dollars. Cuanza Norte Province stands out as the leading coffee-producing area in Angola, with Uige and Cuanza Sul provinces following closely. This regional focus is expected to further boost Angola’s reputation as a key player in the international coffee market.
In summary, Angola’s coffee production is poised for significant growth, with a projected 25% increase by 2025 driven by substantial investments in the sector. With Cuanza Norte leading the production effort and current favorable market prices, Angola aims to solidify its standing in the global coffee industry, benefitting its economy and farmers alike.
