According to a USDA-FAS-GAIN Report dated September 6th, broiler production in Angola will remain fairly static at 52,000 metric tons in 2025, up four percent from the preceding year. Most of the domestic production is derived from small rural units, and a limited number of commercial operations. The major restraint to domestic production is the cost of ingredients with an unjustified restriction that all imports should be from non-GM cultivars.
Imports of chicken will be unchanged for 2025 at 190,000 metric tons representing 78.5 percent of domestic consumption. Assuming a population of 36 million, per capita consumption will be 6.7 kg (14.8 lbs.) in 2025. It is recognized that due to the wide disparity in income between high and low earnings demographic, consumption in urban areas will be higher than the national average.
For the first half of 2024, Angola was ranked 10th among importers from the U.S. with 50,395 metric tons representing approximately half of the volume imported by Angola with the remainder supplied by Brazil. For the first half of 2024 Angola represented 3.1 percent of volume and 2.4 percent of U.S. export value at an average unit price of $1,078 per metric ton.
