Algeria advances the construction of a diversified food supply system.

The Canadian delegation introduced North American practices in wheat breeding, quality testing, and supply chain management, emphasizing that this year's yield has increased and the quality is excellent, which can provide long-term, reliable supply assurance for Algeria. The Algerian food management department and procurement agencies (OAIC) exchanged technical training and value chain coordination plans at the meeting, expressing that they will strengthen cooperation with Canadian enterprises in grain storage, port loading, and quality monitoring. Algeria is accelerating the adjustment of its import structure around "ensuring stable food supply." Based on maintaining existing European and Black Sea supply channels, it is increasing the proportion of procurement from North America to reduce single-source risks. Recently, Algeria purchased approximately 810,000 to 900,000 tons of soft wheat through international bidding, with a contract price of about $256 per ton (including freight), expected to arrive in batches by February 2026. As key batches arrive at the port and supply chain arrangements steadily progress, Algeria's food inventory security has further improved, providing assurance for stable domestic market prices and supply.
