FIDA ACONSELHA: FAÇAM COMO FAZIAM OS PORTUGUESES
Custódio Mucavele, the director of FIDA in Angola, stated that the country possesses the necessary conditions to produce coffee. He argued that the nation must strengthen processing units and train farmers to reach production levels seen before independence. This advice suggests following the methods used by the Portuguese until 1974 or 1975. This perspective contradicts a claim by João Lourenço regarding the achievements of the Mpla compared to previous colonial efforts.
