Executive Summary

SECTOR OVERVIEW IN ANGOLA

African countries spend more than USD60bn annually importing food for their growing populations, but

the continent has the potential to become a major food exporter.

Bananas and indigenous cattle meat were ranked second and third valued at USD842m and USD275m

respectively.

Angolasfood consumption is expected to increase over the forecast period from USD13.1bn in 2014 to

USD21.1bn in 2019 with a growth of around 10% p.a.

In terms of spirits, Angola is the second biggest market in sub-Saharan Africa, after South Africa.

One of the biggest changes in the industry is that import restrictions and quotas introduced in 2015 which

will affect short-term supply, cost and distribution of certain food and beverage products.

1. Definitions/descriptions

According to FDI.net (2012), the food and beverage processing sector refers to the manufacturing, processing and

preservation of meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, oils and fats; manufacture of dairy products; manufacture of grain mill

products, starches and starch products and prepared animals feeds; manufacture of other food products (e.g.

bread, sugar, chocolate, pasta, coffee, nuts and spices); and the manufacture of bottled and canned soft drinks,

fruit juices, beer, wines, etc. This analysis includes unprocessed food and beverages such as raw fruit and

vegetables, seeds and nuts.

African countries spend more than USD60bn annually importing food for their growing populations, but the

continent has the potential to become a major food exporter. Large areas of unused arable land, low fertiliser use

and poor irrigation mean there is scope for improving yields in Africa, which are among the lowest in the world. A

rising middle class continues to boost African demand for food products, especially for processed and packaged

food, creating a continental food market in MENA that the World Bank estimates could be worth USD1trn in 2030

(Gulford Manufacturing, 2015).

2. Overview of food and beverage market in Angola

Angola is a high-risk, high-reward food and drink market in Sub-Saharan Africa. Strong economic expansioncombined with a young, growing population and untapped market niches offer many opportunities for foreign

investors (Business Monitor International, 2015). That said, Angola's challenging regulatory and operating

environment is a major threat. For example import duties introduced on the 23 January 2015 for numerous food

and drink products and steadily rising inflation are causing barriers in the market for exporters. These higher import

tariffs are part of the government's effort to diversify the oil-dependent economy as well as support domestic

industries such as agriculture and manufacturing. While some staple goods, such as flour, beans, rice, palm oil,

sugar, powdered milk and soap, will be exempt from the tariffs, vegetables and fruits are among the items that will

be restricted.

Cassava was the leading food and beverage product produced in Angola valued at USD1.1bn in 2012. Bananas

and indigenous cattle meat were ranked second and third valued at USD842m and USD275m respectively. Other

top products include indigenous pig meat (USD120m), potatoes (USD101m), other citrus fruit (USD90m) andpineapples (USD80m).

The outlook for Angolasfood and drink industry continues to be positive. According to Business Monitor (2014)

theAngolan food and drink market will be among the fastest-growing in southern Africa over the forecast period

(2014 to 2019).Coming from a rather low base, food consumption should be boosted by a stable economic growth

and favourable demographic situation. However, rising import restrictions will make food more expensive in the

short run from 2015f to 2019f. This inflationary effect will weigh on consumer purchasing power.

Angolas food consumption increased from USD9.3bn in 2008 to USD11.7bn in 2013 and is expected to increaseover the forecast period from USD13.1bn in 2014 to USD21.1bn in 2019. Angolas food consumption growth rate

was 16.4% in 2013. It is expected to grow at around 10% p.a. in the forecast period (2014 to 2019). Mass grocery

retail sales are also forecast to grow at around 18.6% p.a. in the forecast period. This is spurred on by the

forecasted population growth however these growth rates are l ikely to be the lower l imit of growth considering the

regulation on imports. In 2014, Angola had an estimated 22.1 million inhabitants and this figure is forecast to

increase by 16.3% to 2019, reaching 25.7 million (Business Monitor, 2015).

Angola is one of the largest and most promising markets for alcoholic drinks in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its potential is

well illustrated by a dynamic beer sector. On average, Angolans consume just under 50 litres of beer per capita

annually, which places the country among the top beer consumers in the region. High per capita consumption of

beer shows that commercial beer is very well established, and beer production is forecast to expand further by a

CAGR of 6.2% to 2019. The demand for beer will be largely driven by strong growth in disposable incomes and

the expanding youth population.

In terms of spirits, Angola is already the second biggest market in the region, after South Africa. Angola has a high

urbanisation rate (above 60%), which is conducive to alcoholic drinks consumption. Therefore, Angola has a strong

potential for distillers despite a lack of infrastructure. In recent years, Angola has become a strategic market forinternational spirits companies such as Pernord Ricard and Diageo. In 2013, Diageo reported a 61% increase in

net sales of Johnnie Walker scotch (Business Monitor, 2015). Beer production is forecast to grow from 1.1 billion

litres in 2014 to 1.5 billion litres in 2019.

Angola's soft drinks industry is less developed and dynamic than the beer industry. Nonetheless, it is still expected

to experience healthy growth over the forecast period to 2019. Carbonates will remain a key driver of overall sector

growth, with higher-value sub-sectors, such as energy drinks, more likely to contribute strongly to the sector's

performance towards the end of the period. In addition to this, Angolans will enjoy rising disposable incomes, which

will benefit the sector. Soft drink production is forecast to grow from 24 million litres in 2014 to 31 million litres in

2019.

3.1 AngolasGlobal Trade of Food and Beverages

Angola experienced a negative trade balance from 2004 to 2013, making Angola a net importer of food and

beverages. Angolas exports of food and beverages were valued at ZAR244m in 2013 compared to ZAR168m in

2012, increasing by 46%, while imports were valued at ZAR41.3bn in 2013 increasing by 27%.Angolas relatively

low value exports are expected to grow in 2014, however in 2015 these exports are expected to decrease

significantly as import substitution policies are enforced.

Spain was the leading export market for food and beverages from Angola in 2013, valued at ZAR160m and growing

by 44%. Cte d'Ivoire and Namibia were ranked second and third, valued at ZAR25m and ZAR18m respectively.

Other top export markets were Ghana (ZAR12m), Mozambique (ZAR9m) and Turkey (ZAR6m). The top food and

Crustaceans was the leading export product from Angola in 2013, valued at ZAR156.6m. This was followed by

whole and frozen fish worth ZAR43.5m. Aquaculture is seen as a major opportunity in Angola and as such Angola

held its first ever International Fishing and Aquaculture Fair in November 2014. Furthermore the Food and

Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is also providing technical support to Angola on the project

Spatial Planning of Aquaculture Zones in the Republic of Angola . These projects are part of Angolas attempt to

increase production in aquaculture by 30% from 2014 to 2017 (TheFishSite, 2015). Due to these institutional and

infrastructural changes in Angola the top two food and beverage exports are likely to grow into the future. The

domestic market may lessen this export growth as it relies on these commodities in the short term due to the import

substitution policies imposed in 2015. The third largest export is non-alcoholic beverages, excluding water, fruit or

vegetable juice worth ZAR10.5m. This category has grown by 614% from 2013 likely due to high import tariffs

imposed on these items stimulating domestic production growth.

The leading import product into Angola was meat and edible offal of poultry meat, valued at ZAR4.2bn. Palm oil

(ZAR2.5bn) and wheat and meslin flour (ZAR2.4bn) were the second and third largest imported products in the

sector. The strong growth of imports of grape wine (27.1%) presents an opportunity for the Western Cape.

3.2 South African Trade of Food and Beverages with Angola

As depicted in the graph below, South Africa has a positive trade balance with Angola and is a net exporter of food

and beverage products to the country. In 2013, South Africa exported food and beverages valued at ZAR2.8bn

compared to ZAR2.2bn in 2012, representing an increase of 31%. South Africa imported food and beverages from

Angola valued at ZAR0.3m in 2013 compared to ZAR0.2m in 2012, representing an increase of 88% from a very

low base.

Source: Quantec, 2015

The leading export product to Angola was cereal grouts, valued at ZAR343m, followed by liqueur and spirits

(ZAR301m). Angola applies a 50% ad valorem equivalent tariff on South African imports of liqueur, although this

is high and expected to decrease growth, this tariff is applied to all other source countries of liqueur to Angola

hence the growth in exports of 30% in 2013. The third largest export was cane and beet sugar (ZAR279m), where

South Africa is the second largest source market after Brazil with a 13% share in Angolas import of this product .

The large growth in the export of this product (57%) is expected to decline in 2015 due to the quotas that wereintroduced on sugar in 2015. The import quota on sugar has been capped at 367,438 tons. In 2013 Angola imported

478,471 tons indicating that a contraction in trade of 23% has to occur.

The leading import product into South Africa from Angola was grape wine valued at ZAR290,000 followed by

processed animal and vegetable oils (ZAR20,000). South Africas imports from Angola in the sector only amount

to ZAR340,000.

Looking at the growth trends over a longer period, from 2009-2013, the highest compound average annual growth

(CAGR) in the top ten exports were found in the following:

Onions, shallots, garlic, leeks; 147% p.a.

Whole frozen fish; 58% p.a.

Apples, pears and quinces; 57% p.a.

South Africas imports.This wine is likely to be re-exported wine that Angola has imported from their largest wine

sources, namely Portugal and Spain. The Western Cape imports 92% of food and beverages imported by SouthAfrica.

3.4 Trade Regulations Markings and Standards

Currently there is no FTA between South Africa and Angola.

In October 2008, SADC joined with the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa and the East African

Community to form the African Free Trade Zone, including all members of each of the organizations including

South Africa and Angola. The African Free Trade Zone, consists of 26 countries with a GDP of an estimated

USD624bn. At the time of publication (March, 2015) Angola had not as of yet become a member of the SADC FTA

and has said that accession will only occur in 2017 after local firms are given the incentive to manufacture in

Angola. Angola is incentivising this through raising import tariffs and applying quotas on imports. Other non-

signatories of the SADC FTA are the DRC and the Seychelles.

3.4.1. Standards

On the 23rdof January the Angolan government introduced the Joint Executive Decree No. 22/15 in an effort to

increase national production, by reducing and restricting the import of food and non-food commodities. This decree

has also imposed regulatory measures on the import market and the network for distribution and sale of food

products where internal supply guarantees more than 60% of national consumption. In this was Angola has set

maximum import quotas for the year 2015.

The import quotas are listed below:
