Algeria Invests in Silos to Ensure Food Security
Algeria is preparing to enhance its grain storage capacity through a project to build 16 silos for the Algerian Professional Institute for Cereals (OAIC), expected to be delivered by the end of the first half of 2026, as part of a strategy aimed at securing a stockpile covering around nine months of national consumption and reducing direct reliance on imports. Professor Ibrahima Mouhouche, a member of the Supreme Council for Scientific Research and Technologies, confirmed during his appearance on the "Guest of the Day" program on the third Algerian radio channel that "storage represents a strategic weapon for the country, increasing Algeria's ability to deal with international market fluctuations," noting that the inability to store grain limits the country's margin of maneuver.
