The Angolan government announced on Monday that it would no longer allocate foreign exchange currency for the import of a range of products, including vegetables, legumes and industrial processing, as the country’s local production already satisfies the demand.
According to a report in the Ver Angola, these imports include beans, onions, sorghum, tomatoes, millet, sweet potatoes, garlic, carrots and bottled water.
Quoted in the report, Angola’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Victor Fernandes, said that Angola’s domestic capacity could already meet demand, hence its decision.
