Algiers, Algeria | May 22, 2024 — On Tuesday, Tayeb Zitouni, the Minister of Trade and Export Promotion, presided over a series of meetings with members of the Algerian Economic Renewal Council (CREA). The discussions focused on the importation of coffee, school supplies, and the production of household appliances. This initiative aligns with the ministry’s participatory and consultative approach to managing and regulating the national market for widely consumed goods.
Mitigating Coffee Price Increases
In the first meeting, Minister Zitouni engaged with coffee importers and processors to address the challenges posed by the rising prices of coffee on the international market. The discussions centered on potential strategies to mitigate the impact of these global price hikes on the national market. Zitouni emphasized the importance of finding solutions to protect consumers from the financial burden caused by volatile coffee prices.
Easing the Back-to-School Burden for Families
The second meeting focused on preparations for the upcoming school year. Minister Zitouni met with producers and importers of school supplies to ensure the availability of affordable supplies for the 2024-2025 academic year. He stressed the need to maintain reasonable prices to alleviate the financial strain on Algerian families. Discussions also covered the diversification of domestic production of school supplies and the redirection of investments towards this sector.
Zitouni encouraged economic operators to participate actively in upcoming school supply fairs. These events aim to offer products at competitive prices, helping to ease the financial pressures on families during the back-to-school season.
Meeting the Demand for Air Conditioners
In the third meeting, Minister Zitouni focused on the household appliance sector, particularly the high demand for air conditioners during the summer. He highlighted the need for a robust production plan and an extensive distribution network to meet consumer needs, especially with the expected allocation of a significant number of new homes.
CREA’s Response
Kamel Moula, the President of CREA, praised the ministry’s efforts to stabilize the market and ensure the availability of essential goods for citizens. He commended the proactive measures taken by the ministry and its collaborative approach with economic operators.
