The Algerian market for agricultural products is currently witnessing pricing patterns that defy basic economic principles. Despite government support for the farming sector, consumers are struggling with rising costs due to a lack of oversight in wholesale markets. These hubs, whether municipal or public, act with little regulation, allowing intermediaries to exert control over prices. Issues such as excessive fees imposed on trucks, rising rental costs for market stalls, and the widespread lack of invoices facilitate rampant speculation. With no official price benchmarks in place, middlemen determine profit margins arbitrarily, shifting the entire financial burden onto the final consumer. Urgent intervention from the Ministry of Trade is being demanded to regulate these markets and safeguard the purchasing power of the population.
