The Food Industry In Algeria

Abstract

This study aims to provide insights into the status of the food industry in Algeria, a critical sector for achieving food security, self-sufficiency, and economic diversification away from reliance on the fuel sector. The analysis covers the period from 2000 to 2023, revealing significant growth in the food industry. However, it still struggles to meet local food demands due to inadequate infrastructure, lack of financial support, outdated technology, management issues, and marketing difficulties. Additionally, the sector is impacted by climate change and unstable environmental conditions, affecting agricultural productivity and output quality. The study emphasizes the urgent need for government policies and strategies to support the sector's growth and development.
