Question

Oil accounts for over 90% of Angola's exports, but the country must import over half of its food. Other countries in Africa, however, do not produce oil but are able to export food products. Based on this information, which statement is true?

Answer 1

Angola is self-sufficient in oil but not in food like most other African countries is a true statement based on the given information.

Explanation:

• Though Angola produces surplus oil that it can export to other countries and fetch great foreign revenue from, it does not help the country become self-sufficient as far as the supply of food is concerned.
• Thus, Angola has to import food from other African countries that are not as rich as Angola is. This exhibits a special kind of imbalance prevalent in the continent of Africa.
