Cereals: Over 2.1 million quintals harvested in Constantine

This year, the wilaya of Constantine has emerged as a key player in cereal production. During a visit to the region, the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development, and Fisheries, Yacine El Mahdi Oualid, stated: “During the 2024-2025 agricultural season, the province of Constantine achieved exceptional cereal production, the highest since independence, thus confirming its role as a model province in strengthening national food security.”

At the opening of the 6th National Winter Cereals Conference in Constantine, the minister announced a record harvest of over 2.1 million quintals, a level not seen since 1962. Durum wheat accounts for the bulk of this production, with 1.28 million quintals from more than 90,000 hectares of cultivated land. To date, 1.84 million quintals have been stored, while 220 farmers have been summoned to deliver their harvests.

These results are attributed to the expansion of agricultural land, mechanisation, and modern irrigation, illustrating Constantine's progress in this area. The minister praised the efforts of local farmers and said that this momentum reflects a profound transformation of the sector, geared toward food self-sufficiency through technology, as desired by President Tebboune.

The visit included several stops, including the El Khroub cooperative, the El-Baâraouia farm, the Ali Mendjeli Biotechnology Research Centre, and the Belbjaoui farm in Aïn Smara.
