In 2017, Algeria reduced apple imports to bolster its domestic production. Farmers responded by increasing plantings, optimistic about the protectionist measures. However, a decade later, growers express concern over the lack of access to anti-hail netting, leaving their crops vulnerable to storm damage. Recent reports from Tridge highlight the challenges facing the Algerian apple industry. The absence of protective measures threatens the progress made in establishing a local apple-growing sector. This situation raises questions about the long-term sustainability of Algerian apple farming and the need for investment in protective infrastructure. The issue underscores the impact of climate-related risks on agricultural production in the region.
