President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has instructed the government to intensify efforts in reorganizing the agricultural sector, with a strong emphasis on significantly increasing crop yields per hectare. The directive underscores the critical need to establish optimal conditions and resources to maximize grain production across the nation.
The President stressed the importance of adopting scientific methodologies throughout all stages of agricultural production, ensuring the quality of seeds tailored to the specific characteristics of each region. This approach is intended to optimize output and enhance the overall efficiency of farming practices.
A key element of the President’s vision is a comprehensive review of the agricultural guidance law. This review aims to modernize the legal framework and facilitate the establishment of specialized cooperatives, fostering collaboration and innovation within the sector. Such cooperatives are expected to play a crucial role in driving increased productivity and competitiveness.
Furthermore, the President has prioritized boosting the production of both red and white meats to adequately meet the demands of the domestic market. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to achieving food security and reducing reliance on imports.
President Tebboune reaffirmed the state’s commitment to resolving land tenure issues for producers, guaranteeing that agricultural land is utilized with maximum efficiency. This measure is designed to provide farmers with the security and incentives necessary to invest in their operations and contribute to the nation’s agricultural goals.
The President has set an ambitious target of significantly increasing national agricultural production by 2026, signaling a renewed focus on the sector as a cornerstone of Algeria’s economic development. The revitalization of the agricultural sector is seen as vital to diversifying the economy and creating sustainable jobs for Algerian citizens.
