Africa-Press – Angola. The president of Toyota in Angola, Nuno Borges, announced last Friday, in Benguela, the intention of the Japanese company to invest in renewable energies and water treatment in the country.
The official was speaking at the end of a visit of a few hours by the Executive President of the Toyota Company, Ishiro Kashitani, to the province of Benguela.
According to Nuno Borges, there are already some proposals that have not advanced, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Regarding the visit of the Japanese delegation to the city of Lobito, he said that the CEO of Toyota was impressed with the potential of the province, expressing strong interest in the future Refinery, due to its size.
He assured that “it is a process that will be analyzed with special attention by the Executive President, internally, to later make a pronouncement”.
In the area of fisheries, Nuno Borges said that the company did not manifest itself because it verified that the fishing and packaging have a basic preparation for consumption in the internal market and neighboring countries, since the scale of production is still limited.
He said, however, that “Japan is the biggest consumer of tuna in the world and maybe in the future there will be interest”.
Asked about the possibility of Angola having a car assembly plant, Nuno Borges assured that it was premature to address the matter as the market is still equally limited, but he did not rule out the possibility of investing in this area in the future.
During his few hours visit to Benguela, the CEO of Toyota, Ishiro Kashitani, visited the Lobito Refinery and the two largest fisheries in the southern region, located in the municipality of Baía-Farta, accompanied by the provincial governor, Luís Nunes.
