The state company SONANGOL once with the monopoly for the commercialization of petrol derivatives in Angola Sonangol today with the liberalization there two more companies PUMANGOL and SONA GALP.
Except for GALP (through subsidiaries Petrogal & SONANGALP) both PUMANGOL (Private) and SONANGOL (state company) are nationwide competitors with large coverage of pumping stations around the country.
Majority of road distribution for fuel in country are done through private trucking companies (some of the most important in the sector are mentioned in our transport module).
See websites of the 3 companies with details regarding their fuel pumping stations coverage in Angola.

Noticed all large transport companies with large storages for fuel to accommodate contingency stocks. As per transporters involved in fuel distribution confirmed that rations are rare but distribution problems may occur in unpredictable fashion e.g. price speculation, delays in transport payments, etc…are isolated cases but referred as common.

3.2 Angola Manual Labour
The usage of unskilled manual labour is extensive in services of cargo handling (and the market have no problem regarding availability to high levels of unemployment) but expensive in comparison with other neighbour countries except for South Africa & Zimbabwe. The port industries (private sector) is investing in handling equipment aiming to reduce the cost of the unskilled labour. Note that some port terminals in coordination with private stevedoring companies jointly participate in organising (in house) regular job training and short time technical & awareness training aiming to improve quality of handling and safety of cargo and/or reduce risk of incidents. Majority of the stevedoring (unskilled labour) is contracted based on tonnage manipulated however, incentives are given in form of insurance against incidents in the operational area and currency to support transportation home/working place (trying to avoid not only the absenteeism and/or tentatively keeping the best labour as possible). The Unions are usually supportive of labour strikes specially in the absence of salary occurrence resulted as consequence of the financial crisis which affected all areas of business private or state owned.

The Grandes Moagens de Angola (GMA) company has invested over 100 million US dollars on the implementation of a transformation plant to produce flour from wheat and animal feed from bran, according to César Rasgado, Business Administrator of the institution, quoted by the newspaper O País.
According to César Rasgado, the mill will be developed in Luanda and will have the capacity to produce 1,2 tons of cereal per day, for the production of wheat based flour and bran to be used for animal feed.
The administrator of GMA also revealed that the investment evaluated in 101 million US dollars has been approved by the Council of Ministers on June 26th, 2016 and forecasts a reduction of 60% in the importation of wheat flour for the domestic market.
The investment is to be used in the implementation of the production plant, the acquisition of equipment, machinery and the recruitment of staff. The expected launch for the beginning of production is the first quarter of 2017.
According to César Rasgado, the monthly production of over 36 thousand tons of flour is destined for the domestic market with the objective of reducing importation of these products from foreign markets.
