Algeria Invests Heavily in Agricultural Modernization
Algeria has made significant investments in its agricultural sector over the past two decades, injecting nearly $100 billion in an effort to bolster food security and modernize farming practices. This commitment underscores the nation’s dedication to transforming its agricultural landscape and reducing reliance on imports.
Digital Transformation as a Key Strategy
Professor Tarik Hartani, Director of the Higher School of Agriculture, recently highlighted the importance of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s directive to digitize all sectors by 2025, starting with agriculture. Speaking on Algerian Radio, Professor Hartani emphasized that this move is “an essential step to deeply modernize Algerian agriculture,” which has lagged behind in adopting new technologies. He pointed out that the agricultural sector has suffered from a lack of reliable data, particularly in strategic areas. Digitalization aims to address this deficit by providing real-time visibility across all sectors. The absence of centralized databases has previously led to discrepancies that were difficult for authorities to correct promptly.
This push towards digitalization is expected to improve efficiency, optimize resource allocation, and ultimately strengthen Algeria’s agricultural output. By embracing modern technologies, Algeria aims to unlock the full potential of its agricultural sector and ensure long-term food security for its citizens.
