The Instituto Nacional do Café (INCA) was created
in 1982 by the MINADER and it is a key institution
for the health of the Angolan coffee sector. Its objec-
tives include increasing the income of the participat-
ing families through the development and market-
ing of high-quality coffee for niche markets and the
facilitation of the resettlement of displaced families,
as well as the development of the technical capacity
of the personnel and institutions involved in the pro-
ject for future sustainability. The INCA is focused on
those provinces which used to be the main coffee-
producing area of Angola before the devastating civil
war: Cabinda, Uíge, Cuanza Norte, Cuanza Sul and
Bengo.

INCER was created in 1995 but did not start obtain-
ing its first results until 1999. The mission of INCER
is to increase the Angolan agricultural production.
As part of a national programme to encourage in-
creased production and price stability, INCER invest-
ed heavily in 2007 on 3,000 tonnes of grain to be put
on reserve. The increase of the agricultural produc-
tion was expected to increase economic security and
help develop the country.
AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTIONS
The Institute works to promote soil fertility manage-
ment in order to improve Angolan food security, in-
cluding:
The use of locally available soil improvers, such
as animal manures and crop residues, to make
organic fertilizer use more economically attractive.
Combining technology with an enabling environ-
ment for farmers to invest in their soils and for
the private sector to invest in agricultural input
and output market development, which further im-
proves the economic feasibility of using fertilizer.
Strategies that support farmers’ organizations and
private sector associations, and their effective co-
operation with the public sector, which can help
create this enabling environment.
