Algerian Agriculture: President Tebboune Orders Comprehensive Reforms

President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has introduced ten strategic measures to overhaul the Algerian agricultural sector. During a recent Council of Ministers meeting, he directed the implementation of a new local organizational plan and the creation of a specialized statistics department to ensure market stability. The reforms include the establishment of an office for dried pulses and cereal storage, as well as the creation of a delegate minister for Fisheries and a secretary of state for Forests. Key directives also include a ban on leaving land fallow and using corn as livestock feed, as the President noted these practices negatively impact grain availability. Furthermore, the President emphasized the need to combat speculation and product hoarding to secure the national food supply chain.
