We have covered opportunities in Angola before and hope you managed to read the posts. This time around we have specific opportunities identified by the Zimbabwe’s Embassy in Angola and we hope some of you will be able to benefit. The good news is officials from the embassy managed to conduct an online presentation for the forum and we captured below the proceedings;
Boa tarde, Good afternoon All
My name is Olivia, I am Zimbabwean and have been living in Angola for the past 15 years.
I liaise with the Zimbabwean Embassy to open opportunities for Zimbabwean businesses in Angola.
Allow me to introduce you to Mr Manhombori from the Zimbabwean Embassy.
He will share with you more details on the business opportunities that the Embassy has been working on unlocking for Zimbabwean businesses – mainly in the Agriculture, Health and Education sectors.
Thank you, obrigada!
Olivia

Good evening colleagues, and thank you for showing great interest in wanting to know business opportunities that are available in Angola.
As you know, much of business embassy is to facilitate exchange or information and interaction between stakeholders from the two countries. In that respect, the Zim Embassy in Luanda identified 3 business sectors that Angolans have interest in working with Zimbabweans. These are Agriculture, education and Health.
At the moment it is the *agriculture sector* that seems to be giving indications of Angolans’ great interest to involve Zimbabweans in the country’s agricultural transformation. May I underline that Angola has put clear their good intention to diversify their economy, from relying on petroleum into agriculture.
In respect of agriculture, the government of Malanje Province (one of the most suitable for agriculture) promised to offer up to a 1000ha of land to each Zimbabwean firm interested in farming.
NB:
✓In my enquiries on availability of finance, I found out that Angolan banks are only providing working capital to already running businesses.
✓Let us scrutinize the information and share ideas as much as is possible.
✓ Information on education and health sectors to be shared as it becomes available.

Meanwhile, the embassy is receiving (bankable) project proposals for submission to Malanje Province. Those interested can send their proposals at,
