Algeria has launched three export operations for electronic and home appliances manufactured in the country, marking a significant step in expanding the presence of national products in regional markets. The operations were launched from the wilayas of El Tarf, Sétif, and Bordj Bou Arreridj. This development highlights the growth of Algerian companies' capabilities to export and compete in international markets. The products being exported include refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and other home appliances.
In El Tarf, a border commune, Abderrahmane Saâdi, advisor to the Minister of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, alongside local authorities, gave the green light to an export operation to Tunisia. The operation involves 10 containers of home appliances produced by the Biolux company. Saâdi emphasized the significance of this operation, citing the quality and competitiveness of Algerian products and the strong demand for them. He also noted that this operation is a result of the country's economic policy aimed at supporting national production and encouraging industrial investment.
In Sétif, three shipments of Algerian-made products were dispatched to Tunisia. Two of the shipments concern electronic and home appliances, including 8 trucks carrying 342 units of dishwashers and 216 refrigerators produced by Sinova Samsung. The third shipment involved 15 trucks loaded with 770 refrigerators, 400 freezers, and 240 washing machines from the Iris company. These operations were carried out under the supervision of Yacine Zouaoua, a central director at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion.
Zouaoua stated that these operations demonstrate the continuous support of the country's high authorities and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion for economic operators in the production sector. He highlighted that these companies have successfully covered the national market with various products and are now expanding their reach to foreign markets. The wilaya of Sétif has emerged as a significant industrial hub, contributing substantially to the national economy and export growth.
In Bordj Bou Arreridj, Abdeslam Djahnit, responsible for managing the secretariat general of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, launched an export operation for 37 containers of electronic and home appliances produced by the Condor company. The products are destined for six foreign markets: Mauritania, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, and Mali. Additionally, 7 containers of similar products from the Géant company were exported to Tunisia.
These export operations underscore the efforts of Algerian companies to diversify their products and expand their presence in international markets. The country's economic policy has been focused on supporting national production, encouraging industrial investment, and promoting exports beyond hydrocarbons. The growth of the manufacturing sector and the increasing competitiveness of Algerian products are expected to contribute to the country's economic growth.
The launch of these export operations marks a significant milestone in Algeria's efforts to boost its non-hydrocarbon exports and strengthen its position in regional markets.
