Angola has set an ambitious target to produce over 8,000 tons of commercial coffee by the year 2025, reflecting an increase of 2,000 tons from the previous year’s harvest. This noteworthy growth underscores the country’s commitment to invigorating its coffee sector.

This growth is driven by strategic investments in the coffee sector and represents a positive shift for the country’s agricultural economy. The vital role of specific provinces in this production further emphasizes the need for continued support and development in these regions.
