Agricultural technology development strategies in Angola for 2010-2020
Get it
Extensive survey on agricultural land use, crop structure and power available in the agriculture in both the Bié province and national levels has been conducted. The obtained data have been classified, statistically processed and tabelized or put into graphics to get maximum refined information. Findings: the references analysis proofed that three kinds of technologies
are used in developing countries while in Angola the hand-tool technology prevails. It has been found that the present level of the installed power per hectare is very low (0.2 kW) and number of tractors per 1,000 hectares reaches 0.606. The future needs in mechanical power have been calculated and found that the actual need in installed energy is 0.74 kW per hectare. The growth of installed energy was taken as three times faster than the agricultural production growth. This is in tune with the overall requirement on the agricultural production in Angola to grow by 55.1% in the case of cereals and by 67.2% in the case of pulses. Consider 2.6% population and consequent needed agricultural growth, with reasonable annual agricultural growth of 5%, the sustainable agricultural production will be achieved so far in 2029. The needed installed power will be reached by 15% annual growth in 2017. It is necessary that in 2020 the installed power will already achieve 0.67 kW per hectare with supposed technologies structure: 25.56% hand-tool, 13.4 animal draught and 61.04% mechanical power. Thus, the needed number of tractor units will increase up to 22,513 units.
