| Methyl Bromide Trend Analysis |
| |
Methyl Bromide is not consumed in Angola |
| |
| Methyl Bromide Usage Sector |
| |
A national survey conducted in 2002, indicated that the current consumption of methyl bromide is nil. However, MB has been used in Angola traditonally in Agriculture (soil-sterilization, grain-storage) as well as in the fishing sector (fishmeal storage)
Current consumption as of 2002 was zero due to the complete collapse of Angola's intensive agricultural production as a result of the 25 years civil war. Prior to war, MB was used for soil sterilization in horticulture sector around Angola's bigger towns of Luanda, Benguela, Lobito and Lubango. MB was also used as fumigant for staorage of grains and fishmeal. It is therefore very likely, that with the growth of agricultural production (resulting from the current stability) a significant increase in MB consumption could be expected. Country has not ratified Copenhagen Amendment therefore has not received any assistance from the MLF to carry out awareness activities on MB phase-out. |
