According to the head of the analytical department in the agricultural sector of Rusagrotrans, Igor Pavensky, from July 2023 to January 2024, the Russian Federation exported 1.6 million tons of wheat to Algeria. This is 20% more than the export volume for the same period of the previous year when 1.33 million tons were delivered. This information is reported by Interfax.
Due to the reduction in Algeria's requirements regarding grain damage by bugs, wheat supplies to the country were resumed. Another reason for the increase in Russian wheat supply volumes was its high competitiveness compared to wheat from European countries. Every year, wheat exports from Russia to Algeria continue to grow. In the previous agricultural year 2021/2022, 0.5 million tons were supplied, and in the 2022/2023 season, 2.1 million tons were delivered.
Currently, Algeria ranks fifth among the main importers of Russian wheat. Additionally, for the first time since the beginning of the season, Russia exported more wheat to Algeria than the countries of the European Union (European Commission data indicate 1.2 million tons). Against this background, exports from France in the current season decreased from 1.6 million to 200 thousand tons, while the main supply volumes are coming from Romania and Bulgaria.
Pavensky notes that in the current season, wheat exports to Algeria may reach 3 million tons, and shipments will gradually increase in the future. In addition to wheat, barley deliveries have also started. The volume of barley exports already amounts to 237 thousand tons. Pavensky reports that the barley import volume in Algeria is 700-800 thousand tons per year, and Russia has become a leader in this market as well.
Algeria consistently holds the 5-6th place among the largest wheat importers in the world. The annual wheat import to the country ranges from 7 to 8 million tons, including 1.5 million tons of durum wheat. Previously, the main supplier of milling wheat to Algeria were European Union countries (France, Germany, Baltic countries), and the supplier of durum wheat was Canada.
