Boumerdes Produces 3.3 Million Quintals of Grapes
The authorities of Boumerdes Province expect to produce over 3.3 million quintals of grapes this season, with a yield reaching 196 quintals per hectare. This comes despite a decrease of more than one million quintals compared to the previous year, due to climate fluctuations, "Mildew" disease, and the lack of adequate cooling and storage networks. Farmers emphasize the importance of developing the raisin industry and improving processing industries to address the surplus production, particularly through the adoption of modern technologies such as electric dehydrators and enhanced marketing strategies. Additionally, the success of exporting Algerian grapes to African, Arab, and European markets depends on soil quality, abundant production, and government support. The goal is to strengthen the province's position as the leading national source of grapes, accounting for 53% of the total.
