Fishing is another profitable export. The government exercises little or no control over foreign companies engaged in coastal fishing. The industry is closely guarded by current incumbents and is difficult to break into. Entering into diamond trade is another risky venture, unless safe trade routes and contact persons can be established. The government uses almost all of its revenues in defense and paying for imports, which are needed to sustain the country each year.
Agriculture is a promising sector for investing in.
Its profitability lies in a successful de-mining initiative. An important point to bear in mind is that most farmers refuse to return to their land for fear of undiscovered land mines. The government has invited investment in the development of the Hotel and Tourism industry. Several lots for the construction of five star hotels in Luanda have been made available. Investment opportunities have been promised for the reconstruction of infrastructure in areas that would encourage tourism.
