Algiers – Over 450 Algerian companies are poised to expand their operations into various African markets, according to the “Dzayer Support for Exporters” program. This initiative aims to bolster Algerian exports across the continent.
Hichem Saidi, Director of the Economic Studies and Investment Development Corporation, revealed these plans at the conclusion of the National Exhibition of Algerian Exportable Products in Oran. He emphasized that the “Dzayer Support for Exporters” program provides comprehensive assistance to participating companies.
The program encompasses a thorough evaluation of each company’s current status, followed by in-depth studies and specialized training in export-related fields. This includes logistics and export chain management, ensuring businesses are well-equipped for international trade.
Saidi explained that the program is currently in its final stages of preparation. A detailed review of applications from participating companies is underway. The official launch is scheduled immediately after the Second African Conference on Export and Logistics Services, to be held in the capital on April 21, 2026.
He highlighted the significant progress made by Algerian products, making them competitive in African markets. Further development could even open doors to global markets. This reflects the dedication of Algerian economic operators to improve their products and align them with international standards.
Regarding export prospects, Saidi pointed out that the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement has facilitated regular and recurring orders, solidifying the presence of Algerian products in African markets.
Saidi affirmed that all Algerian products, particularly in the food processing, construction materials, iron, and pharmaceutical sectors, are capable of competing effectively in Africa. He stressed Algeria’s strategic geographic location and government support mechanisms as key advantages.
He also mentioned the special fund for export promotion, which covers half of the transportation costs, giving Algerian products a competitive edge.
