Africa-Press – Angola. The Minister of State for Economic Coordination, José de Lima Massano, encouraged, this Saturday, national and foreign businesspeople to invest more in small industries, with a focus on self-sufficiency and food security.
The government official, who was speaking at the opening of the Huambo agricultural and livestock fair, on the occasion of the visit of the President of the Republic, João Lourenço, to the province, said that the orientation for the business community operating in the country is to invest in more actions to promote the industry national level, to quickly improve the living conditions of Angolans.
He stated that at the country level, the development and transformation capacity of various products has already been witnessed, acts that the Angolan Executive will continue to support, in addition to developing solutions that allow these initiatives to gain greater scale and volume.
He was hopeful to see excited entrepreneurs, especially those in agricultural production, who are transmitting the feeling that what comes from the countryside can now be commercialized, thus allowing the acquisition of income for family self-sustenance.
To this end, he said that the Executive will continue to support, through its initiatives, national producers, businesspeople and family farmers, to embrace the demand for a stronger and more capable national economy, which can make everyone proud.
José Massano assured that the Government is working towards the population’s food security, by developing a rapid path with businesspeople who believe in the country to materialize this goal.
“Fortunately, we have people producing, and we count on everyone who is developing this effort, on a collective path and with different difficulties, but which cannot be given up, as the country has enormous potential and wealth that needs to be transformed”, he emphasized.
He highlighted that, for the development of small industries, the market relies on financing from the Agrarian Development funds (FADA), Angolan Risk Capital Asset (FACRA), Credit Guarantee (FGC), as well as the financing lines of the Development Bank of Angola (BDA).
Regarding the exhibition, in which 52 local producers participated, the Minister of State said that it was clear that the production of food in the province of Huambo is receiving due attention and that, in a way, some activities are already being developed in the small industries in various fields.
