From January to November 2025, Kazakhstan for the first time exported large volumes of wheat to Algeria, totaling 390 thousand tons and exceeding USD 100 million in value, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan reports.
This achievement was largely facilitated by government subsidies for transport costs in Kazakhstan in 2025, as well as significant diplomatic support.
In line with the instruction of the Head of State to promote Kazakh agricultural products in international markets, the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Algeria held negotiations with the leadership of key government organizations and agencies of this North African country.
On January 14, 2025, Ambassador Anuarbek Akhmetov met with the Director General of the Algerian Interprofessional Office for Cereals (OAIC), Nacereddine Messaoudi, who oversees centralized government imports of wheat and legumes. During the meeting, he was provided with samples of Kazakh wheat and laboratory test results supplied by the National Grain Company "Prodcorporation." The OAIC head gave a very positive assessment of the quality of Kazakh wheat and expressed interest in organizing its supply to the Algerian market.
On June 22, 2025, A. Akhmetov held talks with Algeria’s Minister of Agriculture, Youssef Cherfa, who expressed his political support for expanding comprehensive agricultural cooperation with Kazakhstan, including the supply of Kazakh grain to Algeria.
Overall, beyond wheat, Kazakhstan has significant potential to export meat, legumes, and other types of agricultural products to Algeria.
