Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, Algeria's pork market volume showed significant fluctuations while domestic production remained stable at around 115 t. The market size rose from 91 t in 2018 to a peak of 165.4 t in 2022, driven primarily by intermittent imports which reached 50.3 t in 2022. These swings were closely linked to shifts in the country's meat import regulations.

In 2018, the Algerian ministry authorized imports of fresh, chilled, and frozen meat for all public and private operators to satisfy domestic demand and stabilize prices. This policy enabled pork imports in subsequent years, contributing to market expansion to 147.4 t in 2020 and 165.4 t in 2022. However, in 2023 the authorities excluded frozen meat from permitted imports, allowing only fresh, chilled, and vacuum-packed meat. This restriction coincided with a complete halt in pork imports that year and a contraction of the market volume to 114.8 t.
