Food security is at the heart of current debates on agricultural development policies. One major issue relates to balancing support to local production and opening up to international trade in order to meet the rapid demand growth. This question arises in an unusual way in the Algerian dairy sector, where state intervention concerns all links in the commodity chain from production to consumption. However, despite these particularly costly measures, the increase in the collection of local milk remains limited. The State also intervenes through mechanisms of administered prices and quotas, which encourage the import of milk powder in order to ensure the supply of low-price dairy products. This compromise maintains the country’s dependence on international markets and calls into question its ability to develop a genuine strategy for food sovereignty.
