Algerian Food Security

Like all countries in the world, Algeria has always and since its independence, worked to make food available and accessible, mainly through subsidies, food security being a sacred concept.Having gone through several financial and economic crises during its history as a young independent country, it begins to abandon the subsidization of more and more food products.Recently, Algeria has partially ceased the subsidy of the most consumed commodity of the population, namely wheat and its derivatives; which prompted us to wonder if we should not worry about food security in Algeria.This article spreads the history of the way in which Algeria managed the availability of wheat, then its accessibility to ensure its food security.The analysis shows and confirms our concern that the overall food security index is declining especially since the partial abandonment of wheat subsidies.Also, this shows that the Algerian State is losing its resilience in the face of the unceasing growth in the demand for wheat.
