Algeria has initiated a significant export operation, sending 80 tons of tomatoes from El-Meghaïer to Spain. This move is part of the national strategy to diversify exports beyond hydrocarbons, highlighting the growing strength of Algeria's agro-industry on the international stage. The "Champs du Sud" agricultural group in Djamaâ, a 10-hectare project, is central to this effort, creating over 250 local jobs. The wali of the region, Lâaredj Nehila, stated that the operation will occur in stages, with an initial 18 tons already shipped. This initiative is supported by a national program overseen by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, which has facilitated 35 export operations from 13 wilayas to 19 international destinations. Local authorities are actively removing bureaucratic hurdles to enhance the competitiveness of national products. The goal is to leverage food self-sufficiency, already achieved for tomatoes, into sustainable economic growth. This entry into the European market demonstrates Algeria's ability to meet stringent international standards, positioning its agricultural products as a competitive option in the Mediterranean basin. Algerian cherry tomatoes are quickly gaining traction in demanding European markets, confirming the competitive advantage of Algerian produce.
