Luanda - Angola and China signed, on Wednesday (16), in Luanda, a memorandum of understanding for strategic cooperation in the field of agriculture, with a view to facilitating the construction of a tractor factory and the creation of a training school for agricultural technicians in the country.

The legal document was signed by the chairman of the Board of Directors of the SANEP Group, Luís Troso, for Angola, and by the vice-chairman of the SINOMACH group, Li Xiaoyu, for the Chinese side.

This is a private project with the aim of boosting national agriculture, with a view to increasing the supply of basic foodstuffs for Angolan families, as well as the export of agricultural products.

The project will begin within three months, initially in the province of Malanje, and should be extended to other regions of the country, involving an investment of USD 12 million for the construction of the tractor assembly line and the training centre for agri-technicians in different areas.

According to Luís Troso, with the signing of the memorandum, the SANEP Group intends to make a decisive contribution to Angola agriculture's development.

“We expect to train 300 technicians annually, assemble the same number of tractors in the same period, create 500 direct 5k indirect jobs”, he stressed, advocating more investment in the sector and increasing production levels.

In turn, the governor of the province of Malanje, Marcos Nhunga, said it was a great pleasure to receive a tractor assembly line and a training centre, which will foster the development of local agriculture.

The signing of the memorandum was witnessed by several entities, with emphasis on the Chinese ambassador to Angola, Zhang Bin.AMC/VC/CF/DOJ
