Angola's exports stand at around US $ 70 billion / year, representing 0.4% of world trade (46th largest exporter - 2013). But there is a concentration around the oil and diamonds, representing almost 99% of Angola's exports, a situation aggravated by the current oil prices.

On the other hand, the country still depends on imports of most consumed goods. The process of industrialization and deployment of agricultural business is still in its early stages.

THE CHALLENGES OF NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS • Concentration of Angolan exports in oil and diamonds. On this way, the

transport infrastructure, logistics and availability of financing, are directed

related to these sectors, with the necessity of investments in basic

infrastructure and adaptations.

• Low production and productivity of the National industry. The intention of

CEEIA is to encourage the participation of more and more companies from

different sectors, with the interest in produce for the international market, being

able to reach a production level compatible with the rest of the world, replacing

the imports and expanding the range of goods supplied by Angola to its trading

partners.

• Innovation and quality certification. CEEIA encourages and assists its

members to implement qualified systems and programs, aiming to get any

international certification, creating conditions for the Angolan production being

competitive around the world.

• Search for new markets. The intention of CEEIA members is to identify the

target markets for their products and services through competitiveness,

geographical proximity and good political relationship.

program "Made in Angola" the intention of the CEEIA is to develop an

international perception of the quality and competence of its members,

infrastructure and teams improved, companies are ready to look for new

international markets. The intention is to participate in events and fairs
