Algiers, January 25, 2026 – The National Council for Agricultural Mechanization was officially inaugurated yesterday evening by the Prime Minister, Seif Ghrib. This initiative follows directives issued by the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, and represents a significant step towards modernizing the agricultural sector.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office, the establishment of this council underscores the government’s commitment to bolstering the agricultural sector’s production capabilities.

The council comprises representatives from various relevant sectors, including professional associations of farmers and local economic operators involved in the production of agricultural equipment. This diverse composition aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the sector’s needs and challenges.
The Prime Minister has instructed the council to develop a detailed action plan. This plan should include a comprehensive inventory of farmers’ equipment needs, taking into account the specific requirements of each agricultural sector. Particular attention will be paid to identifying priority needs for the upcoming 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 agricultural seasons to ensure their success.
