The International Fair of Agriculture and Food Industry “AGRA 2026,” taking place in Slovenia, offers an ideal opportunity for Algeria to strengthen its economic partnership with the host nation and various participating countries. Bilateral meetings between Algerian economic operators and their counterparts from various attending nations were conducted to examine partnership prospects and commercial cooperation, enabling Algeria to expand non-hydrocarbon exports.
The fourth day of Algerian participation at “AGRA 2026” featured bilateral sessions bringing together Algerian economic representatives and foreign counterparts, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion announced Monday.
These discussions served to review prospects for cooperation and partnership, highlight Algerian products, and detail their competitive advantages, according to the ministry. The exchanges further allowed participants to explore new avenues for concluding commercial agreements, while emphasizing the expansion of Algerian products in international markets—particularly across agriculture, agri-food processing, and related sectors.
Participating as the guest of honor for this year’s “AGRA 2026” exhibition, which concludes Tuesday, Algeria established a strong presence through 19 economic operators organized under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion.
The fair offered a platform to showcase Algerian goods and their market advantages. Consequently, the Algerian pavilion drew a substantial volume of visitors and business operators who expressed keen interest in the displayed merchandise, the foreign trade department reported.
This momentum illustrates the significance of Algeria’s involvement in this international gathering to promote domestic products and open new horizons for local business operators.
Visitors to the Algerian pavilion commended the quality, diversity, and export potential of the featured goods. Representing Algeria on behalf of the President of the Republic, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Kamel Baddari attended the international event in Gornja Radgona, Slovenia.
He noted that Algeria’s participation at AGRA 2026 seeks to highlight national agricultural and agri-food capacities, promote the quality and variety of Algerian items across European markets, and forge partnerships between both economies. Regarding bilateral relations, the minister called for accelerating the establishment of a joint business council to serve as a key catalyst for implementing strategic projects.
Additionally, the minister conferred with Algeria’s ambassador to Slovenia, reviewing the outcomes of Algeria’s presence at “AGRA 2026” alongside the progress made toward its designated targets.
