Algeria-Qatar Baladna dairy project development
Overview
The Baladna Algeria project, a strategic partnership between Algeria and Qatar, began preparations to import approximately 35,000 high-potential heifers from the United States. The initiative aims to establish a massive agro-industrial complex covering 117,000 hectares to boost national milk powder production and meet local demand.
Logistical preparations included the inspection of sanitary rest facilities at Adrar airport to facilitate the arrival of the first shipment via cargo flights. However, the project faces potential disruption due to reports that the Algerian cattle import market has been temporarily closed. This import ban threatens the scheduled livestock airlift, which was a critical component for developing the herd intended to supply up to 50% of Algeria’s powdered milk demand.
