Angola Completes First Export of Fertilised Eggs to Uganda through Lottie Poultry Company

The Angola Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSDEA) is proud to announce a historic milestone in the country’s agricultural and export development. For the first time ever, fertilised eggs produced in Angola have been successfully exported to Uganda, marking a new phase in the expansion of the nation’s agribusiness and regional trade.

This achievement was made possible through Lottie Sociedade Avícola, a poultry production company in which FSDEA holds a stake through its subsidiary Makunde.

The operation — already paid for and concluded — demonstrates Angola’s growing capacity to produce and export certified agricultural goods, fully compliant with international standards of quality and biosecurity.

During this first operation, Lottie exported 108 boxes, equivalent to 38,880 fertilised eggs. For the next shipment, the company already has 144 additional boxes prepared, totalling around 52,000 eggs, reflecting the continuity and sustainability of production. Furthermore, Lottie has received new orders from Zimbabwe, expanding the regional reach of Angola’s poultry production and strengthening the country’s presence in the African market for avian genetics.

'This first export of fertilised eggs is more than a commercial success — it is proof that Angolan agribusiness is ready to compete regionally,' stated Dr Armando Manuel, Chairman of FSDEA. He further emphasised that 'the interest from other African countries confirms the quality of Angola’s domestic products and the impact of our investments in building a robust and sustainable poultry value chain at both national and regional levels.'

This milestone reinforces the outcomes of FSDEA’s Alternative Investments Strategy, focused on high-impact sectors capable of stimulating national production, import substitution, and export diversification — particularly in agriculture and food security, health, the pharmaceutical industry, and infrastructure.

Through its investments in the poultry sector, such as Lottie, FSDEA and Makunde are directly contributing to self-sufficiency and food security, while positioning Angola as a regional supplier of agricultural products, in line with the Angola 2050 Vision and the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
