Résumé

This study analyzes the determinants of cereal yield in Algeria during 1992–2023 within the context of sustainable agricultural development using the ARDL model. The results confirm a long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. Agricultural land area has a positive and significant impact on cereal yield, while agricultural labor and fertilizer consumption have negative effects, indicating possible inefficiencies in the use of these production inputs. The findings emphasize the need to improve the efficiency of agricultural resource utilization to enhance productivity, support sustainable agricultural development, and strengthen food security in Algeria, in line with the recommendations of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
