Earlier Report Observations

Algeria's market for fresh leguminous vegetables experienced a period of fluctuation between 2018 and 2023, with overall volume rising from 588 thousand tons to 629 thousand tons. After modest annual increases through 2020, the market contracted in 2021 before recovering in 2022 and then surging in 2023.

The notable 7.5% expansion in market volume during 2023 was underpinned by concrete government actions aimed at boosting domestic output. A key driver was the Ministry of Agriculture's directive to allocate 3 000 hectares specifically for legume cultivation in the Médéa region for the 2023-2024 season, which directly increased planted area. Furthermore, the Algerian Interprofessional Cereals Office (OAIC) took steps to secure the supply chain by launching an international tender to broaden its supplier base for grains and dry vegetables, strengthening input availability for local producers.
