A simulation exercise was conducted at Adrar's Touat Cheikh Sidi Mohamed Belkbir Airport to prepare for the arrival of the first batch of cattle for the Algeria-Qatar "Our Country" project, aimed at producing dried milk. The exercise was ordered by Adrar Governor Fodil Douifi and attended by various officials, including representatives from the company, security services, and airport management. The goal was to test the readiness of logistical, veterinary, and organizational procedures.

The exercise was part of preparations for the launch of the cattle import and transportation process for the "Our Country Algeria" project. The project aims to produce dried milk in Adrar and is a strategic Algerian-Qatari initiative. The simulation allowed authorities to assess the coordination and integration between different sectors, institutions, and companies involved in the process. This ensures a smooth and safe operation, following established technical, veterinary, and organizational arrangements.

The "Our Country Algeria" project is a major investment in the country's dairy sector, with the goal of enhancing food security and developing national production. The project involves importing cattle and producing dried milk in Adrar. The simulation exercise was an opportunity for authorities to verify the readiness of all parties involved and to identify any potential issues before the actual arrival of the cattle.

The exercise involved various national and local institutions, including the National Aviation Authority, the National Civil Aviation Agency, and the Algerian Airlines cargo division. Representatives from the veterinary services, customs, and other relevant authorities also participated. The presence of these entities ensured that all aspects of the operation were considered and that the necessary arrangements were in place.

According to Adrar's authorities, the simulation exercise is part of ongoing preparations to ensure that all logistical, technical, and organizational conditions are met for the successful launch of the project. The exercise demonstrated the level of coordination and mobilization among different sectors, institutions, and companies involved. This coordination is crucial for the project's success and for achieving its strategic objectives.

The "Our Country Algeria" project is one of several initiatives aimed at enhancing Algeria's food security and developing its agricultural sector. The project is expected to have a positive impact on the country's dairy production and will help reduce reliance on imports. The simulation exercise at Adrar Airport was an important step towards ensuring the project's success.
