Angola Proposal
The Hand-in-Hand Initiative, in close partnership with the Government of Angola, is committed to advancing a transformative agenda that positions agriculture as a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth, poverty alleviation, and employment generation. Despite Angola's status as the second-largest oil producer in Africa, the country is strategically focusing on economic diversification through agricultural development, in line with its 2023–2027 National Development Plan.
Key accelerators have been identified to unlock Angola’s vast agrifood systems and potential, particularly in the production of stapple grains such as wheat, rice, maize, and soyabean commodities that weigh heavily on the import bill and critical for food and nutrition security.
With over 35 million hectares of arable but underutilized land and favorable agroecological conditions, Angola presents a unique opportunity for sustainable agribusiness development. Its greatest asset—its youthful population, with nearly 60 percent under the age of 25 and 47 percent between 15 and 35, offers both a growing consumer market and a dynamic labour force capable of driving innovation and entrepreneurship in agriculture.
By leveraging these demographic and natural resource advantages, Angola is poised to reduce its dependency on oil, enhance food self-sufficiency, and position itself as a regional player in agricultural production and trade.
The Lobito Corridor is emerging as a major transport and trade hub in Southern and Central Africa. Anchored by the concession of the Benguela Railway and the Port of Lobito, the corridor positions Angola as one of the main routes for the circulation of raw materials and goods.
By strengthening regional trade, particularly with Central Africa’s Katanga region, which represents about 80% of the corridor’s market potential, the Lobito Corridor ensures efficient mineral export and import logistics, enhanced by the new Lobito mining port. Domestically, it stimulates national production, links major consumption centers such as Huambo and Luena along the Lobito–Luau axis, and drives economic development across five provinces: Benguela, Huambo, Bié, Mexico, and eastern Mexico.

Agro-informatics connects information technology with the management, analysis and application of agricultural data to design more accurate and targeted agricultural interventions. The use of new technologies and techniques in agriculture, such as satellite imagery, remote sensing, and geographic information systems, enable the transformation of data into actionable information.

Angola Investment Cases and Interventions
Cereal
Grain production plays a key role in boosting domestic production of essential grains, specifically wheat, rice, corn, and soybeans, which are mainly produced by around 3 million family farmers, most of whom farm areas of no more than 3 hectares per family. In 2024, more than 1 million tons of these grains were imported at a cost of over US$800 million.This strategic initiative to leverage grain production at the national level, but especially along the Lobito corridor, represents a turning point in ensuring food security, strengthening animal production, improving food sovereignty, reducing dependence on imports, and strengthening the local business fabric.
While the government is focused on improving the public policy environment favorable to agribusiness, such as increasing sovereign guarantees from the state to over US$1.6 billion for economic diversification and food security, strengthening public food procurement mechanisms (US$500 million for school meals in 2025) and import quotas for food products with domestic production capacity, financial institutions and investors are being strongly mobilized to explore the great business opportunities that the country offers.
The Hand-in-Hand Initiative has undertaken the challenge of supporting production and private sector development in Angola, focusing on growing wheat, rice, maize, and soybean. About 391,622 hectares have been identified for private sector use, which are currently unused for production. Angola is therefore seeking investments of $551 million to produce 1.3 million tonnes of grain over five years. With an IRR of 21%, more than 130,000 producers will benefit directly, while approximately 783,244 will benefit indirectly.
