“Algeria masters cereals in the Maghreb”
According to Professor Brahim Mouhouche:
Professor Brahim Mouhouche, who is part of the Higher Council for Scientific Research and Technologies and, in addition, Professor at the National Higher School of Agronomy (ENSA), declared yesterday on the airwaves of Channel III of the Algerian Radio, that Algeria has the great means necessary to achieve its food security in a world where cereals, especially wheat, have become a major issue in international relations and the stability of the countries of the planet.
Host of the show ”The Editor’s Guest”, the Professor at ENSA spoke yesterday on the latest report unveiled, only a few days ago, by the American Department and linked by numerous foreign media, where he highlights the great leap made by Algeria in the field of agriculture by attributing a rate of 11% increase in cereal production achieved by Algeria during the year 2023.
“Algeria has become the leading producer of cereals in the Maghreb region with an increase in its production of 11% compared to last year, a figure announced by the American State Department and reported by the media,” observed Professor Brahim Mouhouche.
Still according to the member of the Higher Council for Scientific Research and Technologies, “this feat achieved by Algeria over the past year is the result of a set of strategic measures taken by the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune », recalled Professor Brahim Mouhouche of ENSA.
“I confirm that this is the result of a set of measures and incentives undertaken by the public authorities on the instructions of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, including essentially price support and subsidies for seeds and fertilizers granted to farmers,” mentioned Professor Brahim Mouhouche on Channel III.
“Support whose cost is estimated at nearly 130 billion dinars,” added the host of Algerian Radio. Supporting respect for cultural practices which can already, on its own, improve yields significantly, Professor Brahim Mouhouche also raised the question of the availability of water resources, specifying that “despite our geographical location conferring on “Our country has an arid climate, but we have one of the largest underground water reserves in the world,” said the guest of Channel III of Algerian Radio yesterday.
Algeria, which has been leading, since last year, a great race against time to achieve large quantities of cereal cultivation, particularly wheat and barley, seems to be winning the bet given the millions of quintals of wheat sown during the last harvest of the current year. A challenge won thanks to the efforts of thousands of farmers. The troubling global geopolitical situation has pushed Algeria to cultivate its own cereal production across its immense desert. S.Abi
