Políticas de investimentos agrícolas em Angola: projetos em concorrência e as tendências do século XXI

Abstract

For approximately four decades, the Angolan gov-ernment has favored investment policies based on national corporations, policies which are changing in recent years due to the appeal for foreign direct investment. In this context, this article intends to reflect on agricultural investment policies in Angola, aiming above all to understand the growth trend of agribusiness and the various competing projects for agricultural development. This reflection implies considerations about these projects and the agricul-tural policies implemented over the past 40 years and the effects of the recent government developments to promote private investment in agriculture in the post-civil war period.
