Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has ordered a crackdown on agricultural hoarding and banned the use of green corn as livestock feed. He issued the directives during a Council of Ministers meeting focused on agriculture, rural development and fisheries.
Tebboune said the government would take action against farmers withholding agricultural produce despite opportunities to sell strategic crops at favourable prices. He also directed authorities to prevent agricultural land from being left idle and called for stronger measures against fraud across production, distribution and supply chains.
