An essential link in export activities, logistics serves as a cornerstone for the national strategy promoting non-hydrocarbon exports. Public authorities are stepping up initiatives aimed at creating dedicated export logistics hubs. The goal focuses on smoothing export processes and providing improved support to economic players.
This topic took center stage during a working session dedicated to reviewing the export logistics platform project, chaired Wednesday by Foreign Trade and Export Promotion Minister Kamel Rezig. The meeting brought together representatives from several ministerial departments, entities involved in export trade, as well as business associations and employer organizations.
This gathering provided a platform for consultation and coordination among key players to shape an operational roadmap for integrated logistics hubs. These facilities aim to upgrade service chains for exporters while streamlining shipping, storage, and cargo handling operations for foreign markets, thereby boosting the competitiveness of Algerian goods, the Foreign Trade Ministry stated in a release.
Speaking at the event, the Foreign Trade and Export Promotion Minister underlined the critical role of export-focused logistics infrastructure, asserting that its expansion represents a fundamental pillar of the national strategy to boost non-hydrocarbon sales.
He noted that “expanding logistics infrastructure dedicated to exports forms a core foundation of our national framework aimed at driving non-hydrocarbon exports.” He stressed the urgency to “unite efforts across different sectors and involved agencies, while adopting an inclusive strategy to ensure this project realizes its goals under top standards, meeting the demands of commercial operators and opening new horizons for Algerian exports.”
The planned launch of these logistics platforms, which will act as a strategic bridge between commercial actors and global shipping networks, aligns with broader government efforts to energize non-hydrocarbon trade. This move complements previous measures introduced to boost external trade, as Algeria sets its sights on raising non-fuel exports to 30 billion dollars by 2030.
