In this paper, we try to examine the status of the agricultural sector and food security in Algeria, which
hadnumbers of policies and programs that it has applied to develop it, enhance food security and diversify
sources of income, the most prominent of which is the agricultural development plan 2000-2004, the
agricultural and rural development plan 2005-2009 And the Plan of Agricultural and Rural renovation
2009-2014, based on the Agricultural Guidance Law issued in 2008. With all these policies and programs
applied, the sector did not achieve the desired results despite achieving significant growth rates, or
narrowing the food gap. 15% of gross domestic product at best, and did not exceed the production ratio of
70% of the food consumption values, and the rest are covered by the import, which is a burden on the state
and limits making development in other sectors..
