In the 1970s, Angola produced about 180000 tons of commercial coffee per year.

Uige province has a coffee planting area of 161000 hectares and an annual output of 99550 tons, making it the largest coffee growing province. This was followed by Kwanza Sul province, with a planting area of 120000 hectares and a yield of 81807 tons.

Angola is expected to become a big coffee producer again.

Xinhua Luanda July 10 (Reporter Dai Adi) African Coffee Organization Secretary General Josefa Correa Sarko said on the 10th that due to the nationwide coffee planting campaign, Angola is expected to regain its status as a major coffee producer in the world.

In analyzing the global financial crisis and the situation in the international coffee market, Sako said that there are still gaps in the international coffee market, and Angolan coffee should not only increase its output, but also improve 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 after independence in 1975 led to a sharp decline in coffee production in Angola.

Angola's ambassador to the United States, Agostinho Tavares, told Jornal de Angola on Monday in New York that the first batch of coffee exported from Angola to the United States (a total of 11 tons) had arrived in the country.

Tavares also said that the coffee is the first batch of agricultural products exported to the United States after the entry into force of the African growth and opportunity Act (AGOA). AGOA stipulates that various products from sub-Saharan African countries can enjoy tariff and tax benefits.

Tavares said that there is a strong demand for coffee in the United States, and Angola, which has been exporting oil to the United States for many years, will have a second batch of coffee in a few days.

The 16th "AGOA Forum" was held from September 22 to 26, with the participation of trade ministers from AGOA beneficiary countries.

AGOA was promoted by former US President George W. Bush and passed in 2000. The current Congress amended the law in 2015 to extend its validity by 15 years. (macauhub)
