Over more than 20 years, Angonabeiro has grown in a sustained manner, working closely with the Executive, which considers this sector to be a core element for the diversification of the economy.
"The bet on the coffee sector and on the growth of national production is not only the way to replace imports and increase exports, but also to create more and better jobs and, consequently, increase the income of citizens and generate more wealth for the Country", defends José Beato, assuring that the company remains "deeply committed to the development of coffee in Angola". "The quality of Angolan coffee was recognized early on by the Nabeiro Group, which has made constant investments in the country, always seeking to take advantage of the rich flavor of this coffee. In this context, we can highlight the fact that the Delta Cafés brand places coffee from Angola in lots, which it exports to more than 30 countries in the world through the Nabeiro Group", concludes José Beato.
