在16世纪初,葡萄牙的船舶将马铃薯和番薯一起带到后来成为葡属西非的地方。虽然番薯被当地的农民广泛种植,但是马铃薯的种植却局限在中部高原地区,海拔高度和南极洋流使得那里拥有温和的气候。
在1975年独立时,安哥拉的马铃薯年产量约为3.2万吨,其中大部分产自高原地区的万博省。在随后的27年中,生产因内战而停滞,但在2002年至2007年实现和平之后又再次蓬勃发展,该地区的马铃薯种植面积扩大了两倍,总产量增加了一倍以上,由26万吨增至创纪录的61.5万吨。
马铃薯的年人均消费量估计为15公斤,这一数字正随着城市化进程迅速增长。然而,每公顷平均5吨的较低产量、收获后的大量损失以及对进口种薯的依赖使生产受到了限制。为了满足需求,安哥拉也从南非进口马铃薯。
