The capsules will be produced at the Angonabeiro coffee factory, in Kikolo commune, Cacuaco municipality, in Luanda.
"The machine should leave Portugal at the end of May or beginning of June and the first angolan coffee capsules, marketed under the name 'Ginga', should reach the market in October", according to the same source.
Café Ginga, Delta Cafés and Delta Q are the three coffee brands owned by Angonabeiro, a subsidiary of the Portuguese group Nabeiro, leader in the coffee market in Portugal, Angola and Mozambique.
The investment in the coffee capsule filling line is part of the program to support the increase in national production of fresh coffee, through the Production Support, Export Diversification and Import Substitution Program (Prodesi).
In total, Angonabeiro invested 8.4 billion kwanzas, benefiting from funding of 4.9 billion kwanzas from Prodesi for the renovation of green coffee processing lines, new packaging lines for beans and ground coffee, construction of a green coffee processing line and a coffee capsule production line.
Angonabeiro, where more than 100 people work, guarantees the continuous supply of coffee to all the provinces from the facilities in Luanda, where the company has a warehouse with 4000 square meters, and from the Café Ginga factory, in which they are produced, annually, more than 400 tons of sugar and 200 tons of roasted coffee.
Created by the Nabeiro group in 1998, at the invitation of the Angolan Government, in a logic of revitalizing the coffee sector, Angonabeiro started with the management and modernization of the Liangol factory, which had been deactivated since 1984. In 2001, it started industrial operation and, in the same year, the roasting facility at Café Ginga (formerly Liangol) was inaugurated.
Currently, Angonabeiro is a company with a vast portfolio of own brands and represented in the categories of coffee, tea, sugar, wines, olive oil, milk, water, cookies and toast, preserves, sauces and seasonings or detergents.
