The meeting aimed to identify new opportunities for Argentine agricultural products in the Algerian market.

 

Held at the headquarters of the Algerian Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development, and Fisheries, the meeting was attended by officials from the Economic and Commercial Section of the Argentine Embassy. The Algerian delegation included Dr. Asma Ghalmi, Deputy Director of Food Security and Border Control, alongside other technical representatives.
