Algerian Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development, and Maritime Fishing, Sid Ali Khaldi, paid a working visit to Tissemsilt province on Tuesday. The visit aimed to assess the state of the agricultural sector and its development prospects in the region. Tissemsilt is known for its promising agricultural potential. During his visit, Khaldi inspected several projects, including the development of rural roads and the connection of 127 homes in the Al-Qarouj area and 35 homes in the Hamzi area to electricity and gas networks.
Khaldi also examined the complementary agricultural development program specific to Tissemsilt, which targets the development and improvement of 4,500 hectares of land for 170 farmers. The program also includes the construction of 58 kilometers of new rural roads and the connection of 159 farms to the electricity grid.
