Bié Province

Bié Province spans 70,314 square kilometers across central Angola, featuring diverse landscapes from tropical forests to agricultural fields with abundant rainfall patterns.

The province served as a vital trade route connecting Portuguese merchants from Benguela port with interior Ovimbundu communities during colonial times.

The Ovimbundu people maintain their traditions through local markets, regional festivals, and traditional ceremonies that showcase their customs and craftsmanship.

Nine municipalities form the administrative structure of Bié Province, with Kuito functioning as the capital and main transportation center.

The province produces substantial crops of maize, sugar cane, rice, coffee, and peanuts due to its position on the elevated Bié Plateau.
