Angola’s Salt Reserves: A High-Value Export Proposition for Southern Africa


Since 1989, one of Angola’s leading salt producers has established itself as a key player in the regional agro-industrial sector. Operating on 2,461 hectares of coastal land, the company produces over 200,000 tons of high-quality salt annually, positioning itself as a reliable source for refined and raw salt in Southern Africa.

Strategic Positioning for Regional Trade

With Angola’s strategic location along the Atlantic coast and improving transport corridors with neighboring countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, and Namibia, the company is expanding its export footprint to meet rising regional demand.

Salt remains a critical input not only for food processing but also for industrial applications, including water treatment, livestock feed, and chemical production—sectors experiencing growth across sub-Saharan Africa.

The company leverages both traditional harvesting methods and modern processing techniques to ensure consistent product quality and scalable output.

With growing regional interest in import substitution and food security, its salt products are aligned with key economic development priorities of neighboring markets.
