Success Stories Of Algerian Smes In International Markets

Authors : Ghafir Asmaa . Bessouh Nadira .

Abstract

This study examines the success stories of a number of Algerian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the agri-food sector that have achieved remarkable performance. It is important to acknowledge that these SMEs have contributed significantly to the country’s food security, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, they have demonstrated notable success in export activities. The findings of this study indicate that accessing and succeeding in international markets is not exclusively reserved for large corporations, nor can it be considered an activity limited to developed countries. In practice, it has been shown that several SMEs in developing countries, such as Algeria, have successfully penetrated international markets.
