Algeria: After Wheat, New Tensions with France in the Agricultural Sector

Algeria has reportedly asked its urea producers to stop exporting to France, according to Reuters, while Algeria supplies about 30% of France’s urea imports. Algiers has denied imposing restrictions, and Paris says it has received no official notification; the measure’s duration and scope remain unknown. The dispute adds to trade tensions that followed Emmanuel Macron’s support for an autonomy plan for Western Sahara under Moroccan sovereignty. French wheat exports to Algeria fell from 5.4 million tonnes in 2018 to 608,000 tonnes in 2023.

At an APM town hall in Enugu on Thursday, Seyi Makinde criticised Bola Tinubu’s planned trip to Makkah to pray for Nigeria, saying prayer should be accompanied by transparency about the economy. He questioned the government’s request for more foreign borrowing despite claims of rising reserves and revenue above target; Tinubu has asked the Senate to approve a plan of about $20.52 billion and €1.045 billion. Makinde said businesses lack long-term financing and instead rely on short-term credit at interest rates of about 25%, which he argued holds back manufacturing and job creation.

He spoke in Calabar while unveiling five books on subjects including history, politics and the Nigerian Civil War. Duke said only one or two people in Delta State had recently secured and independently completed such contracts, while high contract sums and qualification requirements were barriers for contractors in Cross River. He urged prospective contractors to strengthen their financial and technical capacity to compete for NDDC projects.
