In 2024, the staple foods market in Angola faced challenges due to inflation and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. An insufficient supply of locally produced raw materials maintained the importance of imports and contributed to rising prices.
Inflation and foreign currency fluctuation were amongst the most significant factors affecting staple foods in Angola in 2024, impacting the purchasing power of consumers and causing increases in pricing. Industry players have been developing operations within the country and looking to source local raw materials more often rather continuing to depend on imports.
Most Angolan people consume three meals per day – breakfast, lunch and supper. Lunch is usually considered to be the most important meal of the day, not least as supper tends to be taken quite late, often as late as 22:00hrs.
Around half of the staple foods consumed are sold in informal channels. Rice, pasta and processed meat sell the most in informal channels, as they are normally more affordable and mainly demanded by low- and middle-income consumers.
Small local grocers, supermarkets and outdoor markets are the most popular retail channels for purchasing staple foods. Traditional channels such as small local grocers and open markets are usually preferred by low-income consumers and this is because these channels generally offer products at the lowest prices as well as being located in closer proximity to their homes and workplaces.
Over the forecast period, demand will be significantly influenced by the levels of national production and inflation. These factors will play a crucial role in determining potential alterations in prices.
