Abstract

This study is intended to explain the role of the agricultural sector in achieving food security in cereals during the period 2005/2022. It found that Algeria is one of the world's leading grain importers, its dependence on importation has increased dramatically over the years , as a result of increased urbanization and population ,In addition to the decline of Algeria cereal production especially bread wheat, which represents between 75% -80% of wheat imports. Earlier wheat was mainly supplied to Algeria from France, now it is the Russian Federation that occupies a significant share. This is after Algeria modified its wheat import restrictions at the end of 2020 to raise the rate of permitted bug-damaged grain from 0.2 % to 0.5 % to allow wheat from Black Sea origin. Wheat agriculture has long time suffer by problems such as adverse weather conditions especially drought , scarce water resources, primitive methods of production, and underemployment.
