Making a difference
Minbos Resources is building a nutrient supply and distribution business that stimulates agricultural production and promotes food security in Angola and the broader Congo Basin.
Our Cabinda Phosphate Project is developing a high impact self-sustaining agricultural sector, representing a first step in alleviating poverty for millions of subsistence farmers who use no soil nutrients.
To ensure that Minbos can measure, monitor, and report on its ESG progress, the Company has engaged impact monitoring technology platform “Socialsuite” to streamline the outcomes measurement and ongoing ESG reporting process.

Strong Institutional African Support
Based on the country’s natural endowments, agriculture is well positioned to transform the country, promote economic diversification and boost exports and generate foreign exchange. The African Development Bank intends to play a catalytic role by providing lines of credit as well as leveraging PPP transactions to ease access to finance for private sector and SMEs, to transform agriculture as a business, reduce local food prices, enhance food security and improve the country’s economic competitiveness. By supporting the agro poles development and the agro industries, the Bank will contribute to achieve one of the High 5s target of Industrialise Africa. – African Development Bank (statement on Angola)
Investments in agro poles and agro industries through provision of lines of credit to private sector can help boost local food production and exports. – African Development Bank
