National seminar on the theme: Algeria's agrifood industry: potential and challenges at the Center for Systems and Networks (Hasnaoua 2), October 27 - 28, 2021

Call for papers

1 Seminar issues 

The health crisis engendered by the Covid-19 pandemic has just reminded us that our productive system is weak and, at the same time, fragile because of its dependence on imported inputs from abroad. Against a backdrop of global economic recession, and with most borders closed, Algeria can only rely on itself, but with few productive resources to manage in the face of ever-growing needs.

Needless to say, to reduce the food bill, we need to increase national production, which requires a major investment effort in agriculture and the processing industry. The development of the agri-food industry therefore takes on a strategic dimension, and as many projects as possible need to be initiated in order, on the one hand, to replace imports and, on the other, to ensure food security. The question of boosting productive investment and creating new businesses to densify the economic fabric is of prime importance here.
