29/03/2011 (Angola Press) - Caricoto farm, located seven kilometres off headquarters of Golungo-Alto district, Kwanza Norte province, is engaged in the increase of oil palm production, after reaching a production of 3,000 litres from January to March of this year.

 The information was advanced today to Angop by the head of the farm, Manuel de Almeida Teixeira, underlining that they will employ more workers aiming at increasing palm oil production.

 He pointed out difficulties to get bank loans for the employment of a greater number of workers and acquisition of new equipments as some of the biggest obstacles for the increase of the production.

 Manuel Teixeira said that the farm had produced 12,000 litres of oil palm in 2010 that were traded in the markets of Ndalatando (capital of Kwanza Norte) and of neighbouring provinces of Luanda and Malanje.
