In the mid-1970s, Angola (Angola) exported 3.5 million bags of coffee a year, 98 per cent of which was Robbins (probably the best Robbins in Africa), but total production fell to 200000 bags in 1990.

The best brands in Angola used to be Ambrish (Ambrish), Ambalem (Amborm), and New Ridondo (Nuo and Redondo), all of which are known for their consistent quality. Most of Angola's coffee is exported to the United States, the Netherlands and, of course, Portugal.

Angola has a history of growing coffee for more than 100 years and is the fourth largest coffee industrial country in the world. Its output ranked first in Africa until 1960. In the mid-1970s, 98% of Angola's annual coffee exports were Roberts coffee. It is the best quality Robbins coffee in Africa. In 1974, Angola's coffee production reached an all-time high of 225000 tons, ranking second in Africa and fourth in the world.

The coastal lowland of northern Angola is vast, about 100mur200 km. Because of its low and flat terrain, low rainfall and semi-dry plants, it is an important coffee production area in Angola. Coffee is grown at the height of 400--l500 meters, with a rainfall of about 1250 mm. The northern region is the main coffee production area in Angola, which was later introduced.

Arab varieties are grown in the central plateau.

Angola used to be one of the largest coffee producers in the world, with most of its coffee exported to countries such as the United States, the Netherlands and Portugal. But the subsequent 27 years of civil war led to a significant decline in coffee production in Angola. In order to revive the former coffee producing country, the Angolan government is increasing investment and adopting preferential policies to encourage companies and farmers to grow coffee, increase coffee production and profits, and implemented a small loan scheme in 2008. Encouraging each farmer to grow coffee will receive a government discount of US $5000. Strengthen the coffee production program, call on farmers and industrialists located in the producing area to actively invest human, material and financial resources in the cultivation of coffee, encourage local farmers to increase coffee production, increase rural income, and promote the development of rural and urban economy.

Angola produced twice as much coffee in 2009 as it did in 2008, reaching 12000 tons. Total coffee production reached 13900 tons in 2012. Angola's plan to revive agricultural operations will start planting 1.5 million coffee seedlings on 500 hectares of arable land in Amboim province in March 2013, with an additional 5000 tons expected to be produced in 2015.

Due to the coffee planting campaign across the country, Angola is expected to regain its position as a major coffee producer in the world. This is also

It will diversify the development of the national economy and improve the over-reliance of the national economy on the oil and diamond industries. With the continuous implementation and strengthening of the government's policy to encourage the production of cash crops, coffee production in Angola will increase steadily.
