Analysis
Angola recorded 3.35 million tonnes for corn production in 2024. That is the highest value across all 64 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.3% on the previous year and up 98.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, corn production in Angola peaked at 3.35 million tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 180,000 tonnes, in 1990.
That places Angola 36th out of 176 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
