Tipaza's longstanding fig drying tradition
The article highlights the traditional practice of drying figs in the Tipaza region of Algeria, where this process is an important source of income for rural families. The fig harvesting season begins in August and September, during which the fruits are gathered from the fields, then sorted and sun-dried using traditional methods. These include laying the fruits on mats and covering them to protect against insects, with the drying process taking between 15 and 20 days. As the sector has developed, industrial techniques such as electric ovens have been introduced to improve the quality and speed of production, aiming to boost exports of dried figs. These figs are considered a healthy product rich in vitamins and fiber, holding a competitive market position alongside Turkey and Morocco. Experts indicate that Algeria has significant potential to develop its dried fig industry, supported by government policies and encouragement for investment in the sector to maximize economic and industrial gains.
