Earlier Report Observations

The market for cocoa shells, husks, skins and waste in Angola opened the 2018-2023 period at 91.5 tonnes, against a backdrop of industry estimates pointing to a 7.3% average annual growth potential for cocoa production in the country and a national cocoa output of over 30,000 tonnes per year, which forms the basis for waste generation. After a dip to 84.0 tonnes in 2019, the market volume stabilized and saw a modest recovery to 85.7 tonnes in 2020.

Market volume continued its upward movement, reaching 89.5 tonnes in 2021 before contracting again to 82.0 tonnes in 2022, reflecting underlying volatility in the primary cocoa sector.

In 2023, the market rebounded to 86.9 tonnes. This growth coincided with significant government investment of about 1.2 billion kwanzas to import improved cocoa seeds from São Tomé and Príncipe, aimed at renewing plantations and increasing cocoa yields, which directly leads to a larger volume of processing waste. Furthermore, a youth technical training program in Brazil for 50 Angolans sought to strengthen the local cocoa value chain, while a global cocoa shortage and record-high prices incentivized efforts to modernize and expand domestic production activities.
