Angola
Summary
Angola is rich in vast arable land and water resources and possesses considerable agricultural potential that remains largely underexploited. Domestic agricultural production falls short of demand, and Angola imports more than half of its food needs. With millions of tons of food purchased abroad, the volume of imported goods makes the year loss-making compared to the tonnage of exported products, and economically unproductive.
In addition, Angola has a 1,300-km railway line connecting the Atlantic Ocean port of Lobito to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia to the west, both of which are also dependent on imported goods.
The agri-food sector has therefore become a major strategic focus in the country's economic diversification policy, aimed at reducing its dependence on imported food products and strengthening its food security.
Although essential to this national project, intermodality in the supply chain, to function well as an ecosystem, must be the subject of consensus among all parties involved and concerned.
Strategic collaboration
A group of business partners involved in this global vision of agri-food development contacted Solution ISPS Inc. to verify our interest and validate the relevance of our expertise and potential involvement. Strategic Collaboration
Following a workshop and several information exchanges on the agri-food project, Solution ISPS Inc. joined forces with the Bioxchem cluster of specialists, firstly as a strategic advisor for multimodal transport in the supply chain and secondly, as a partner to contribute to the development of the feasibility study and the upcoming business plan.
Ambassador of Angola in Washington/Canadian Consul of Angola in Ottawa
As part of a meeting planned in Ottawa with the Angolan diaspora, the Angolan ambassador to Washington accepted our Quebec delegation's request for a closed-door meeting on December 13, 2024.
The agri-food project was presented to the dignitaries and their team members within a framework of return on investment and sustainability, based on an efficient multimodal transport chain and an integrated training program for a skilled workforce.
