Mauritania’s market is increasingly welcoming Algerian products amid growing fascination with “Made in Algeria” labels. The Algerian Products Fair, which launched Tuesday in Nouakchott with a record 350 Algerian firms spanning various industries, offers yet another platform to showcase Algerian goods\u2014already carving out a niche in this African market thanks to their quality and competitive pricing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This eighth edition of the Algerian Products and Services Fair positions itself as a prime chance to solidify Algerian offerings in Mauritania. The Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, which mobilized resources for the seven-day event (May 5-11), hailed it as “a flagship economic showcase mirroring the surging momentum in Algeria-Mauritania economic relations.”<\/p>\n

The gathering serves as a “strategic hub” to amplify Algerian products’ footprint, back non-hydrocarbon export drives, and advance shared goals for deeper economic ties. It provides a comprehensive venue to display diverse Algerian goods and services, fostering partnership opportunities and fresh avenues for trade and collaboration between the nations’ business communities.<\/p>\n

Trade Volumes on the Rise<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bilateral trade is poised for further growth by tapping untapped potential, despite solid progress. Algeria-Mauritania Business Council president Youssef El-Ghazi reported exchanges hitting about $500 million\u2014still below ambitions given the countries’ capabilities, though up sharply from under $50 million in prior years, signaling robust dynamics and bright prospects.<\/p>\n

Speaking Tuesday on national radio, El-Ghazi projected potential to multiply this figure tenfold, especially post-completion of the Tindouf-Zou\u00e9rate road link operating at full capacity.<\/p>\n

He spotlighted the fair as a “strategic bridge” for commerce and investment cooperation. “The event has evolved beyond mere promotion into a practical arena converting political will into concrete economic projects,” he noted, citing the strong Algerian turnout as evidence of shifting focus toward Mauritania as a gateway to African markets and a boost for non-oil exports.<\/p>\n

This momentum underscores a clear political push for economic integration and African market targeting, amplified by Algeria’s AfCFTA membership, which unlocks industry and trade expansion alongside continent-wide partnerships and investments. Participating sectors include construction and public works, agriculture and agro-food, chemicals, cosmetics, energy, plastics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics, and home appliances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
