The mission will aim to learn about the local business environment for agricultural production and to look for areas available for potential Brazilian investments in agricultural and agro-industrial projects, said the economic counselor at the Brazilian embassy, Eduardo Lessa.
Carlos Fávaro, who will be in Angola between May 5 and 10, is accompanied by around 20 producers from the grain, cereal and seed sectors, to "evaluate the possibility of potential partnerships or the establishment of some companies", he added.
Around 70 percent of Brazilian exports to Angola come from the agribusiness sector, with emphasis on sugar and chicken, beef and pork meat, accounting for 340 of the 493 million dollars exported to the country last year.
Brazil is particularly attentive to the opportunities associated with the growing demand for seeds, since it produces certified and improved seeds with genetics adapted to Angolan conditions, Eduardo Lessa stressed.
The initiative follows on from Carlos Fávaro's visit to Luanda in December 2024, during which a Letter of Intent was signed with the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Isaac dos Anjos.
The mission's programme includes meetings with representatives of the Angolan government and private sector, as well as visits to agricultural enterprises in the provinces of Malanje and Cuanza Norte.
