Algeria is facing a crisis in the prices of vegetables, fruits, and meats, with broad price increases that have exceeded the purchasing capacity of many consumers. The prices of certain products such as fennel, eggplants, peppers, and chicken have reached high levels, with chicken costing around $3.75 per kilogram, and fruits like apples reaching $4.50. This rise reflects a widening gap between production and distribution, partly due to the costs of imported inputs like fertilizers and seeds, as well as inadequate forecasting of agricultural quantities and discouragement of cultivation for certain products. Additionally, diplomatic tensions and import restrictions have led to a decline in banana imports, further complicating the availability and price stability of food products. Domestic policies aimed at reducing imports are facing challenges due to weak local production and increasing demand.
