\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
One of the important factors influencing agricultural production is the utilisation of technology. Technology applied in agriculture can be classified according to the origin of power into three levels: human, animal and mechanical.  Angola still carries the burden of consequences after the long"=lasting civil war terminated in 2002. \mbox{85\,\%} of Angolan population is directly dependent on agricultural and related activities. Majority of them use hand"=tool technology for agricultural production which is often not sufficient to sustain food security of the peasant's family. In 2009 the country was still significantly dependent on imported food. On the other hand, Angola has proved high economical growth rate since 2004. Even though, the economic growth is mainly driven by oil sector, there seem to be good financial conditions for increase the implementation of mechanical"=power equipment in agricultural sector and contribute so to food security of the country. The survey aimed at the assessment of current situation of the utilisation of mechanical"=power equipment in agriculture and its future perspectives with special regard to possibilities of utilisation within farmers' association. The survey was conducted in both governmental as well as private sectors at national and provincial level from May 2009 to February 2010. Methods of data collection included semi"=structured personal interviews and questionnaires. Nowadays, the mechanical"=power equipments are used only on \mbox{1\,\%} of total cultivated land in Angola. The annual rate of total land cultivated by mechanical"=power equipment increased by \mbox{7\,\%} in agricultural seasons 2007/2008 --- 2008/2009. In the last agricultural season 2008/2009 each tractor in use cultivated only \mbox{75\,ha} of crop land. The number of mechanical"=power equipment is steadily changing due to the average operational conditions not exceeded two years. Unsuitable models of equipment, low level of maintenance and lack of spare parts, lack of qualified human resources and training capacities are the principle obstacles impeding broader utilisation of mechanical"=power equipment. 







The study was realised within the development projects "Support of Secondary Agricultural Education in Bie Province in Angola" financed by the Czech Development Agency.}
