Angola: Poultry and Products Annual

As the economic environment in Angola has improved, Angolan chicken meat imports also recovered, increasing 57 percent in 2021. Post expects 2022 imports will show slight year-over-year growth as well. In 2021, Angola was the world’s seventh largest importer of U.S. chicken meat by value ($125 million). Post forecasts production to increase slightly in 2023, but the country still faces challenges to expansion of its domestic industry, including a lack of animal feed production, veterinary medicine, chicken feedlots, and general infrastructure, as well as the prohibition of genetically engineered (GE) feed products.
