Nov. 1 – Luanda will host, during December 6-9 2012, the first edition of the Agrotech Fair, entirely dedicated to the agriculture sector, its machineries, industry and services. The sector is currently at 6.2% of its full potential, with a relevance of 12% on total GDP. It is considered the engine that will restart the petrol industry diversification process while enhancing employment rates. Among the participants, there will be producers, importers and distributers of both machinery and end products, as well as service and formation providers, industrial manufacturers and distributers, and Horeca. The latter has the main aim of promoting development in this sector by creating an annual meeting point to establish commercial contacts. The Italian Embassy is currently working on getting applications from companies wishing to participate, which will be guaranteed an exposition space during the fair.
