Overall comment
The farm in Malanje is the most modern and advanced farm in the country, and equipped with all farming machines. largest β€œagricultural production unit in the history of Angola”. The company has another farm in Angola (#5016). The farms are a showcase of modern agriculture in the country. Citic construction is only involved in the construction (won the tender) and training once the center is operational. 5 year contract- 2 years for construction and 3 years for management and training. Citic did not acquire the land itself.
