The United States of America has opened the door to cooperation and potential future partnerships with Algeria in the oilseed processing and feed production sector, after the livestock and dairy cows sector, through 30,000 heads of the Qatari “Baladna” group project.
In this context, the Washington Embassy hosted an Algerian-American event that highlighted cooperation in the field of oilseed processing and feed production, where the US diplomatic mission received Algerian actors in the agricultural and industrial sectors to participate in a technical symposium on improving oilseed processing and feed production.
According to the Washington Embassy in Algeria, this initiative is a joint initiative between the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the United States Soybean Export Council (USSEC), the Soybean Innovation Laboratory, and the University of Missouri.
This event, according to the embassy statement, a copy of which was received by Echorouk, brought together experts from the United States and Algeria to exchange knowledge, enhance innovation, and strengthen cooperation in the field of soybean use and feed production, noting that, during the period from 2025 to 2026, American soybean exports to Algeria more than doubled, driven by the increasing demand for feed.
Chargé d’Affairs at the US Embassy, Mark Shapiro, said: “High-quality, sustainably produced American soybeans contribute to achieving food security goals in Algeria by supporting the poultry and livestock sectors and creating demand for local processing facilities.”
Throughout the week, attendees will participate in technical discussions, exchange best practices, and explore opportunities to enhance Algeria’s capabilities in oilseed processing and feed production, according to the same source.
The source concluded by emphasizing that this event reflects the depth of the extended relations between the United States and Algeria, and highlights joint efforts aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity, supporting food security, and stimulating economic growth.
The Qatari “Baladna” group, which is currently implementing a huge agricultural project in the state of Adrar to produce powdered milk, signed a contract at the end of last April to acquire 30,000 heads of American dairy cows, which will be supplied via an air bridge from nine American states, with the first flights starting next November.
