The Arab Forum for Rural Advisory Services (AFRAS) strengthens inclusive, climate-smart advisory services across the Arab region by linking public, private, and civil-society providers. In Algeria, agriculture is an important pillar of the economy: about 13 percent of GDP, 9 percent of total employment, and a quarter of the population living in rural areas. Arable land exceeds 7.5 million hectares, and roughly 17.3 percent of national territory is agricultural. Recent policy focuses on boosting strategic crops and reducing the food import bill through the Algerian Agricultural Roadmap 2020–2024, while new 2025 agreements with the banking sector expand subsidized credit for farmers and agribusiness. The rural advisory system is led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development with the National Agricultural Extension Institute, provincial directorates, the General Directorate of Forests, chambers of agriculture, and BADR bank, alongside private providers. Priorities include capacity building, ICT-enabled advice, sustainable water and soil management, and climate adaptation. Digital initiatives range from professional portals and mobile apps such as Choufli to smart-agriculture work by CRSTRA and AI tools for crop diagnostics, plus a 2025 satellite-based locust early-warning partnership with the Algerian Space Agency.
