The US Agriculture Department has revised Algeria’s wheat import forecast for the marketing year through June 2024, reducing it by 4.6% to 8.3 mln metric tons. This adjustment reflects slow imports from the European Union and a shift in Algeria’s sourcing, with Russia expanding its presence in the Algerian wheat market. Algeria, a significant consumer of wheat in North Africa, faces an 18% decrease in wheat production due to drought, highlighting its reliance on imports for this staple grain.
