Luanda — The potential of Angola's agro-industry and food processing allows the promotion of national production to reduce imports of food goods, the Secretary of State for Industry, Carlos Rodrigues, said today in Luanda.
For this reason, Angola spent, in 2023, 582 billion 151 million 373 thousand and 462 kwanzas on importing raw materials for incorporation into the production process, which implies a strong dependence on imports, he said. According to the Secretary of State, the objective of the sector is to promote less dependence on imports in industrial ecosystems, as well as to encourage the growth of exports with greater added value.There was a problem processing your submission.
