The Algeria Drinking Milk Products Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.67% in the forecast period of 2023-28, cites MarkNtel Advisors in their recent research report. The major reason for the market growth is the high dairy consumption in the country. According to the government of Algeria, dairy consumption is the second largest in the country after cereals. 70% of the milk demand is met through domestic production and the rest is through imports.
The government is currently focusing on reducing its import dependency and becoming self-sufficient in terms of food & milk production. In order to achieve this, the government even released a 5-year strategic plan in 2020, which involved the mechanization and modernization of agriculture and dairy production. Along with it, the government is also encouraging the establishment of small dairy units and the breeding of camels & goats in the Sub-Saharan region. This development is creating a conducive ecosystem for milk manufacturers to establish their production units in the country.
