Resumen
Descripción
The devastation wrought by over 20 years of civil strife remains the most significant characteristic of the Angolan situation. Despite the initiation of a peace process in late 1994, recovery of the shattered infrastructure, the marketing network, the rural support structures and the production systems has scarcely begun. Food production is essentially based on hand cultivation/subsistence farming methods with concomitant constraints on expansion in area and increase in yield. The resulting grai n harvests fall far short of the country’s requirements and the deficit is generally met through commercial imports and international relief assistance.
