According to Daniel Januário, administration and finance director of the company located in Bengo, with this investment it is intended to make production three times greater, which currently stands at 270 boxes of eggs a day, whose number has dropped due to the company's restructuring. As well as increasing production, according to Angop, the funds are also being channeled to rehabilitate and build new pavilions, classification centres, as well as a digester to treat waste and improve the environment.
The current pavilions, which are capable of housing around 18 to 20 thousand birds, are not activated, informed the company's director of administration and finance. Cited by Angop, the official added that other pavilions are being built with a capacity for 50,000 chickens, in order to triple production.
One of the company's main challenges is the lack of piped water. According to Angop, this problem, which has persisted for a decade, leads the company to spend around one million kwanzas per month on a tanker truck.
Angolaves has 12 pavilions for 250,000 birds, eight of which are reserved for laying and four for rearing, writes Angop.
It should be noted that last week, the company received a visit from the provincial governor of Bengo, Maria Antónia Nelumba, says a note from the Provincial Government of Bengo. "The provincial governor visited the company Angolaves Lda., installed in this region in an area of 88 hectares, the first aviary in the country, with 12 aviaries that have 93,000 chickens, enabling the production of 97,000 eggs per day, generating 107 jobs work", reads the note, which VerAngola had access to.
