Post maintains its estimate of Algeria’s wheat plated area at just over 2 million hectares for the entire country. For the MY 2024/25, Post projects production for wheat and barley to remain in line with the current MY of 2.7 million MT of wheat and 1.02 million MT of barley. Farmers will begin to sow MY 2024/25 wheat and barely fields at the end of September. So far, cumulative precipitation for this coming season is at the same level as in 2022. However, soil moisture charts, show moisture levels dipping to almost at the limit of the Min/Max level for Mediterranean coast. As such the onset of rains is crucial to help farmers start their plantings. Post maintains wheat imports estimate at 8.7 million metric tons for MY2023/24 based on lower harvest and increased import demand.
