Algeria will launch a major non-hydrocarbon export operation on Saturday, November 7. The Ministry of Interior and Local Authorities is coordinating the event to expand trade activity beyond the energy sector. Officials at the Ministry of Interior and Local Authorities finalized the logistics for this initiative to facilitate the movement of goods from various production hubs. This mobilization involves industrial centers across the country, including those in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Mostaganem, and Sétif. The government intends to use this export drive to establish new supply chains across international markets. Participants will transport a range of manufactured products to destinations such as Tunisie, Égypte, and Mauritanie. Authorities confirmed that the operation follows months of preparation by regional administrative departments.
Expanding National Export Capacity
Algeria exported $4 billion worth of non-hydrocarbon products during the first eight months of 2026. This figure reflects the volume of trade recorded by the state before the launch of the current national export initiative. Zohir Moussaoui, a director at the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, stated that the Algerian government aims to reach $5 billion in non-hydrocarbon exports for the full year 2026. This target represents the official objective for the current calendar year as the country seeks to diversify its international trade portfolio. These figures track the ongoing performance of the manufacturing and industrial sectors as authorities work to increase the total value of goods shipped to global markets.
Corporate Contributions to Exports
Condor is participating in the national export effort by preparing a large-scale shipment of goods. Mohamed Daas, directeur général de Condor, stated, "Nous allons expédier 400 conteneurs de produits électroménagers et de charpente métallique vers de nombreux pays." These 400 containers will be delivered to Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, and Mauritania.
Faderco is also contributing to the expansion of non-hydrocarbon trade through its own logistics network. The company plans to export approximately 50 containers of hygiene products and raw materials to the United States, the United Kingdom, Tunisia, and the Côte d'Ivoire. Regarding this operation, Amor Habes, PDG de Faderco, noted, "Nous allons exporter des produits hygiéniques et de la matière première vers ces pays."
These current efforts build upon previous trade activities conducted by national enterprises. On 11 April, Algeria conducted a previous export operation that involved companies from 13 provinces. This earlier initiative successfully facilitated the movement of goods across 19 countries.
