One of the prime tasks of the National Private Investment Agency ( ANIP - Agência Nacional de Investimento Privado ) is the active promotion and ive targeting of foreign investment that might facilitate the reconstruction and economic and social development of Angola. The accomplishment of these tasks involves the existence of internal and external conditions, which allow the dissemination of information about the legal conditions for foreign investment, available business opportunities, the range of investment operations, general economic intelligence in brief: a whole set of useful information to help one to decide about investing in Angola. On the past, marketing activities promoting foreign investment did not reach a satisfactory level for the Angola authorities. But in the present situation, with peace emerging in the country, it becomes urgent to chance Angolas image to attract international attention for foreign investment, which is essential for the reconstruction and development of the country. By Carlos Fernandes. General Director of ANIP - Agência Nacional de Investimento Privado. Investment Opportunities. Potentially one of Afric’s richest sub-Saharan countries, Angola offers great opportunities for investment in various sectors. Moreover, Angola is also blessed with large regions naturally favorable to the building of industrial and farming parks in the Luanda, Bengo, Benguela, Huíla, Cabinda, and Kuanza South areas. Also in place is a young, dynamic and skilled entrepreneurial sector that owns some underdeveloped property, eager for partnerships that will give them access to new technology and know-how. Likewise, and in the process of privatization, a meaningful public sector in the banking, transportation, energy and water fields already exists in Angola. Agriculture & Livestock. The FAO estimates over three million hectares of arable land exist. There are also large areas for pasture, especially in the southern part of the country. Traditional sustainable crops - cassava, beans, and sweet potatoes are found in the country’s north, with corn in the central provinces, and small corn and sorghum in the southern areas. We would also mention other crops such as banana, rice, sugar cane, palm oil, cotton, coffee, sisal (hemp), tobacco, sunflower, citrines, and other fruits and vegetables. Coffee, which up to 1973 was Angola’s major export, is well worth looking at, as it could once again become a very important factor in the Angolan economy. www.investinangola.com ANIP Headquaters.
