Tebboune: Algeria Has Wheat Reserves Sufficient for 8 Months

Algeria has wheat reserves sufficient for eight months, the state news agency quoted President Abdelmadjid Tebboune as saying during a televised interview late on Saturday. Algeria purchased about 120,000 tons of optional-origin milling wheat in an international tender on April 13. Algeria’s state grains agency OAIC will allow traders to supply it with French wheat in March, overturning a recent exclusion of supplies from France as the war in Ukraine disrupts shipments from the Black Sea region, traders said last month.
