ANGOLA

The estimated 2004 cereal production is about 9 percent above the previous year�s level reflecting both higher plantings and yields. Cereal import requirements at 820�000 tonnes are above last year as total utilization has increased. The annual per capita cereal consumption rate has increased by about 2 kg reflecting higher imports of wheat and rice in the past years and this season�s improved maize production. Food aid requirements have been reduced due to improved security in the country.
