Food Sovereignty: Launch of Two Strategic Projects to Leverage Scientific Research into Agricultural Investments

As part of the national strategy aimed at transforming the outcomes of scientific research into productive economic projects—thereby strengthening the national economy and supporting food sovereignty—a coordination meeting was held today, March 11, 2026, at the headquarters of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries.
The meeting brought together the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mr. Kamel Baddari, and the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries, Mr. Yacine Oualid. It was dedicated to the launch of two strategic projects that embody the partnership between scientific research institutions and economic enterprises.
The first project concerns the establishment of a plant seedling production unit using tissue culture technology, with a production capacity of up to 10 million seedlings per year. The project will be implemented through a partnership between the Biotechnology Research Center in Constantine, specialized in plant tissue culture, and the Strategic Crops Development Company.
In its initial phase, the unit will produce banana seedlings, with the possibility of expanding the activity in the future to include other plant varieties.
This project is expected to reduce imports and promote strategic crops, especially since banana imports cost Algeria around 300 million US dollars annually.
The project will also be accompanied by an action plan to allocate more than 4,700 hectares of agricultural land for farmers wishing to invest in banana cultivation, particularly in regions where suitable production conditions exist.
The second project concerns the creation of a company specialized in seed production, particularly grain maize seeds and hybrid vegetable seeds, based on the scientific research results achieved by researchers at the University of Tiaret.
This initiative aims to develop locally adapted seeds suited to national climatic conditions, thereby strengthening agricultural production and reducing dependence on imports.
