On 20 January 2026, Mr. Kamel Baddari, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, accompanied by the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries, Mr. Yacine El Mahdi Oualid, opened the study day activities on “The Incorporation of Partnership Results and Scientific Research into the Development of the Cereal and Legume Sectors”, held at the Higher Institute of Management and Planning in Bordj El Kiffan, and organised by the Algerian Interprofessional Office of Cereals. The event was attended by experts, researchers, university professors, and representatives from the cereal sector professionals.

In his speech, Mr. Baddari emphasised the significance of strengthening the partnership between the agricultural and scientific research sectors to enhance productivity and improve quality, thereby contributing to food security.

He also noted that climate change requires agricultural practices to be adapted to the use of scientific research, and that modern technology such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things must be integrated to advance production. 

For his part, Mr. Yacine El Mahdi Oualid emphasised the importance of integrating the agricultural and scientific research sectors, noting that “the development of the cereal and legume sectors cannot be achieved without utilising the results of scientific research.” 

He added that the field visits conducted with the minister of Higher Education and Scientific research revealed “the existence of numerous important studies that remained unpublished”. He noted that “the development of climate-resistant seeds, agricultural irrigation systems, improved soil quality, the use of fertilisers, the monitoring of their quality, and the geographical distribution of agricultural activities” were among the practical areas through which scientific research could “significantly contribute to improving agricultural productivity”.

During this event, a number of experiences in the field of valuing the outcomes of scientific agricultural research were reviewed. These are the result of the ongoing collaboration between the two sectors.
