Last Updated: 2026/05/17, Angola is poised to regain its status as the world's largest coffee producer thanks to a nationwide coffee growing campaign, said Josefa Correa Saco, secretary general of the Organization of African States Coffee.

Josefa Correa Saco, secretary-general of the African Coffee Organization, said recently that Angola is expected to regain its position as a major coffee producer in the world due to the nationwide coffee planting campaign. Sako said that at present, there are still gaps in the international coffee market, and Angolan coffee should not only improve its output, but also its quality, so that it can really fill the supply gap.

Angolan Agriculture Minister Afonso Pedro Kanga revealed that Angolan coffee production this year is expected to double that of last year to 12000 tons. In 2008, in order to regain its status as a major coffee producer in the world, the Angolan government introduced a plan to receive a preferential "micro-loan" of US $5000 per farmer to grow coffee.

Angola was once one of the largest coffee producers in the world, with coffee production reaching a record 225000 tons in 1974. However, the 27-year civil war that broke out after independence in 1975 led to a sharp decline in coffee production in Angola.
