Earlier Report Observations

The rapeseed market in Algeria demonstrated relative stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual volumes oscillating between 24 000 t and 25 000 t. A pivotal change began in 2020 with the launch of a national five-year program to cultivate rapeseed, aiming to cut oilseed imports. Initial plantings covered 3 000 hectares, yielding over 1 300 t, though this nascent domestic production did not prevent a slight market dip to 24 387 t that year.

The program expanded significantly in 2021, with sown area reaching 13 000 hectares, backed by a higher guaranteed purchase price and subsidies for farmers. However, severe administrative blockages preventing cooperatives from receiving the harvest, combined with a major rainfall deficit, stifled growth. These constraints contributed to a marginal market contraction to 24 272 t. In 2022, despite continued logistical hurdles and a noted lack of interest from domestic processors, the market volume edged up to 24 620 t as the ministry reinforced its commitment to the strategic crop.

By 2023, the market volume receded to 24 146 t, underscoring the persistent difficulties in scaling up local rapeseed production. Import volumes, which had fluctuated throughout the period, fell to 1 092 t in 2023, reflecting the ongoing variability in supply sources against the backdrop of the national import-substitution drive.
