Biofuels ’superpower’ Angola soon to be self-sufficient in food production – FAO

Decades of gruesome civil war, landmines, blood diamonds, hundreds of thousands of refugees, the total destruction of infrastructures, near state collapse… these are some of the common images that come to mind when we hear about Angola. But things are changing rapidly in the former Portuguese colony.
[…] Because of this situation, many Angolans used to rely on food aid, but according to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), this era will soon belong to the past: Angola is set to become self-sufficient in food due to the revival of its agricultural sector which has once again begun tapping the country’s immense natural potential.
[…] Angola is indeed one of the countries which make Africa’s future sustainable bioenergy production potential so large. A rough estimate puts Angola’s export potential in 2050 at around 6 Exajoules per year, the equivalent of 2.7 million barrels of oil per day.
