Speaking at the national act that served to open the 2025/2026 Agricultural Campaign, the government oficial stated that the agricultural sector presents an average annual growth rate of six per cent.
He reiterated that most Angolan families are engaged in agriculture, reason why the Executive has been focused on improving the support given to agricultural co-operatives.
Massano recognised that the country has many challenges to face, such as in the area of infrastructures, know-how, access to land, availability of inputs and financing for farmers.
He also stressed that the country’s agricultural production is already taking control of markets countrywide, including supermarkets, which is a sign that the country is on the path of food self-sufficiency.
