Algeria’s non-hydrocarbon exports have surged by 16% during the first quarter of 2025, a clear reflection of the national strategy to diversify the economy and reduce dependency on oil and gas revenues.
Abdellatif El-Houari, Central Director at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, told dzwatch that non-hydrocarbon exports are witnessing “growing and continuous development,” with Algerian products successfully penetrating new global markets.
He highlighted a landmark operation launched on April 11, involving 35 export operations targeting 17 countries from Tizi Ouzou wilaya, covering Europe, Africa, Asia, the Arab world, and North and Latin America — including the US, Canada, Mexico, Peru, and Guatemala.
Exports include construction materials, ceramics, cement, food products, fruits, vegetables, and notably the first-ever shipment of auto spare parts — including brake systems — to Tunisia and Libya, under contracts signed during Algeria’s Intra-African Trade Fair last September.
El-Houari confirmed that a digital single-window platform for exporters is being prepared to streamline procedures, while the Algerian Export Agency is expected to launch within days to support access to new international markets.
