Algeria’s grain planting season
completed under favourable climatic conditions throughout the
country. Government estimates indicate that 3.3 million ha of grain
were planted. Durum continues to account for the biggest portion of
the planted area followed by barley and bread wheat. Indications are
that farmers are becoming more favorable to certified seeds and
fertilisers. Algeria remained one of the world’s largest importers
of wheat in 2011. Cereal products accounted for about 37 percent of
total food imports bill in 2011.
Wheat imports were up by close to 42
percent to just over seven million tonnes. Durum imports were up by 48
percent and bread wheat by 39 percent.
In May 2011, the Ministry of
Agriculture suspended the tax on private durum imports for an
indefinite period because of the high world market prices.
