Best coffee farmer in Angola
In the fertile municipality of Quibala, Kwanza-Sul province, Fazenda Vissolela is rapidly becoming a major player in the Angolan coffee industry. With a clear vision and significant investment, this ambitious farm is poised to not only elevate Angolan coffee on the global market but also champion sustainable practices.
A Commitment to Growth:
Since its inception in 2016, Vissolela has seen substantial investment, pouring around 10 million dollars into its ambitious project. Their long-term goal, set for 2030, is to cultivate a sprawling 5,000 hectares dedicated to Arabica coffee. This strategic expansion is being tackled in phases, with an impressive 200 hectares already under cultivation and a further 1,000 hectares planned for the first phase alone. This initial phase also comes with a projected harvest of a remarkable four tons per hectare.
Quality and Sustainability at the Forefront:
Beyond sheer volume, Vissolela prioritizes quality and ethical sourcing. Recognizing the growing market for specialty coffees, they dedicate a significant portion – one-fifth – of their production area specifically to these exceptional beans. By focusing on these high-quality, unique flavors, Fazenda Vissolela positions itself at the forefront of the specialty coffee movement in Angola.
A Bright Future for Angolan Coffee:
The success of Fazenda Vissolela is not just a story of individual growth; it signifies a brighter future for Angolan coffee as a whole. With their impressive production figures, including 2,160 tons of coffee produced in 2021 and a projected increase to 5,400 tons by 2025, Fazenda Vissolela is substantially contributing to the rise of Angolan “black gold” on the international market. This growth not only benefits the farm itself but also injects energy and opportunity into the entire Angolan coffee sector.
A Model for Sustainable Practices:
Fazenda Vissolela understands that responsible farming practices are essential for long-term success. Their commitment extends beyond high yields and specialty beans; they actively implement sustainable methods to protect the environment and ensure the viability of their operation for generations to come. This dedication to sustainability aligns perfectly with the growing global appreciation for ethically sourced and environmentally responsible products.
Fazenda Vissolela: A force to be reckoned with
Fazenda Vissolela’s journey is a testament to the potential of Angolan coffee. With its focus on quality, ethical sourcing, sustainability, and ambitious expansion plans, this farm is not just contributing to the Angolan coffee industry; it is actively shaping its future.
