Algiers, Algeria | December 27th, 2024 — El Oued is set to host the first International Salon for Investment in Saharan Agriculture, an event organized by the Agricultural Chamber of El Oued. Scheduled from January 15 to 18, 2025, the exhibition will be held under the theme “Strategic Crops: Guaranteeing Food Security,” reflecting its focus on advancing agricultural practices in the Sahara.

This event is expected to bring together around 60 participants, including agricultural investors from across Algeria and several national and international organizations linked to the agricultural sector. The exhibition aims to foster collaboration and innovation, showcasing a variety of agricultural products, modern equipment, and cutting-edge technologies tailored to enhance Saharan farming.

In addition to product displays, the event will feature workshops and expert-led discussions by professors and researchers in the agricultural field. Topics of focus include “Saharan Agriculture and its Development Prospects,” “Strategic Crops in Desert Areas,” “Mechanization in the Agricultural Sector,” “Smart Farming,” and “Digital Agriculture.” Participants will also explore investment opportunities in Saharan agriculture, highlighting the sector’s untapped potential and its critical role in ensuring food security.

The initiative aligns with the rapid advancements in strategic farming witnessed in neighboring Ouargla, where significant strides have been made in cultivating essential crops like wheat (both hard and soft) and barley. Expanding irrigated land dedicated to these crops underscores the growing potential of Saharan agriculture as a cornerstone of Algeria’s agricultural development strategy.

According to Moussa Hamani, President of the Agricultural Chamber of El Oued, this international salon marks a vital step in promoting investment in Saharan agriculture. It provides a platform to exchange expertise, introduce innovative practices, and bolster efforts to elevate the region’s contribution to Algeria’s agricultural sector.
