Algeria achieves food industry self-sufficiency and targets global markets

Minister of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion Kamel Rezig stated that Algeria has reached self-sufficiency in most food products previously imported, noting significant growth in the sector since 2020 driven by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's policies. Speaking at the opening of the Food Industry Fair in Blida, the minister highlighted the quality of Algerian products which are now exported to African, Arab, and European markets. The event, running until October 20th, features around 100 public and private companies showcasing items ranging from dairy to beverages. The participation of diplomats and economic representatives from twenty countries underscores the ongoing efforts to facilitate international trade partnerships and explore new export opportunities for Algerian businesses.
