The Acting Netherlands Ambassador, Marc Léon Mazairac, has announced plans for the Netherlands to import avocados and lemons from Angola for consumption and re-export to other European countries. Mazairac, who has visited the Lobito Corridor to evaluate the region's horticultural potential, indicated that other Angolan-grown products could also be imported. He sees the port of Lobito as a potential distribution center for export products, much like the role the Netherlands plays in Europe. The ambassador is hopeful that Angola will use the Netherlands' expertise to serve other countries via the port and the Benguela Railroad (CFB).
