Earlier Report Observations

Banana production in Angola increased from 3,954 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 4,205 thousand tonnes in 2020. This growth was initiated by the launch of exports to Europe, notably by Nova Agrolider under the 'Angolanita' brand, which created new market opportunities. Concurrently, the National Development Plan 2018-2022 implemented policies to diversify the economy and boost domestic food production, providing a framework for agricultural expansion. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused minimal disruption to farm labor, allowing production to continue its upward trend despite supply chain challenges.

From 2021 to 2023, production rose further to 4,894 thousand tonnes. Investments in modern cultivation techniques and training for producers enhanced yields and quality. Nova Agrolider expanded its weekly exports to 500 tonnes for Portugal and Spain, consolidating international demand. A significant production surge in Benguela province—from 15,000 tonnes in 2016 to 127,000 tonnes in 2022/23—using modern irrigation and techniques, along with the promotional effect of the National Banana Fair, drove market volume higher.

In 2024, the sector focused on maintaining export flows to European markets and implementing policies to strengthen agricultural sustainability. Continued investments in infrastructure, irrigation schemes, and quality control aimed to support the industry's development amid ongoing efforts to address logistical and climatic challenges.
