Algeria has imposed an export ban on oil, sugar, and wheat products under the instructions of President Abdulmecid Tebbun. The Minister of Justice has been tasked with drafting a law to criminalize the export of these products, with the exception of those locally produced. The Presidency also announced incentives for farmers who supply strategic state stocks. Amidst concerns of potential shortages due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis, Algeria, which consumes 9-12 million tons of wheat annually, has sufficient grain stocks to last until the end of 2022.
