Algeria: Dairy and Products Annual
Improving dairy domestic production to reduce reliance on imports remains a priority for the Government of Algeria. The 2017 import licensing regime was replaced in January 2018 by a temporary import ban. Milk powder remains unaffected. Canadian exports of nonfat dry milk to Algeria are increasing, creating stiff competition for U.S and other exporters. The diversification of dairy production has increased Algeria’s dairy consumption making it the highest in North Africa.
