The growth of the firm’s output represents 37 percent increase surpassing prior 21 percent reached in 2017 and 2018, said the company’s official to Angop.
BIOCOM has currently four production lines installed in Malanje and Luanda provinces. The firm covers 25 percent out of the 300,000 tonnes of sugar consumed in Angola.
