Mário Augusto also said that the Government's objective is to see the country as one of the largest agricultural producers on the African continent, as there are several comparative advantages such as low population density, arable land, favorable climatic conditions as well as abundant water resources.
He also said that he believed that within five years, Angola could "be on the list of the main grain producers", namely maize, soy, wheat and rice, with maize and soy comprising 95 percent of the ingredients in animal feed.
