Investing In Agricultural Lands In Southern Algeria As A Strategic Mechanism For Schieving Self-sufficiency

Authors : Zoubir Mohammed . Abdennebi Fatiha .

Abstract

The study aims to clarify and demonstrate the enormous potential of the southern Algerian region, which allows investors in the agricultural sector, whether from inside or outside Algeria, to exploit it, in terms of vast agricultural lands and underground waters, especially Timimoun, Mania, Ghardaia, Ouargla and Illizi, and how investment in these states can contribute to achieving self-sufficiency in strategic materials such as grains, in light of the state’s efforts to reduce the import bill on the one hand, And diversify the economy on the other hand To address the problem, the descriptive approach was used, and the most important agricultural lands suitable for agriculture and placed at the disposal of investors by the Development Office were addressed. In our study, we covered the most important agricultural lands in the south that are not being used, as well as the expectations that are hoped to be achieved in the coming years if they are exploited, by conducting a prospective study for wheat and sugar production The study concluded that there is an actual launch of strategic projects in the far south, including, but not limited to, our country’s project for dried milk in Adrar and the Italian project for dry grains such as chickpeas, lentils and beans in Timimoun. Also, If the new lands are exploited by investors, significant job opportunities will be created, the import bill will be reduced, and self-sufficiency will be achieved.
