The food industry holding company Agrodiv intends, during the current year, to launch new production units and restart others falling under the assets recovered by the state. This is part of its efforts to develop its production capacities and enhance its contribution to the national economy.
The Acting General Manager of the holding company, Mr. Salim Djenaihi, stated to the Algeria Press Service (APS) that Agrodiv seeks during 2026 to strengthen its sustainable growth and solidify its position as a key player in the industrial and food sector. This will be achieved through the implementation of a set of strategic projects aimed at developing its production capacities and enhancing its contribution to the national economy, as well as meeting the growing demand for its products. These objectives will be met by launching new, modern, and advanced production units, and relaunching those recovered under the state’s policy to utilize recovered assets and reintegrate them into the economic cycle.
This follows the path initiated last year (2025), during which Agrodiv integrated several recovered companies, according to the head of the firm. He confirmed that this operation was carried out according to a “well-studied” organizational and structural approach, which allowed for a “smooth transition” of these companies and their gradual integration into Agrodiv's production system. Examples include the beverages and preserves branch N'gaous and the East Cereals and Preserves branch.
The integration of these companies contributed to “increasing overall production capacities and creating direct and indirect jobs, in addition to bringing a new dynamism to the investment field. This consolidates the group's position as a pivotal economic actor and contributes to supporting national development,” Mr. Djenaihi added.
As part of the same strategy, work is also underway to modernize and develop existing production units to ensure increased capacity and improved product quality. This includes launching human resources training programs to enhance operational efficiency and guarantee high performance. The Acting General Manager noted that Agrodiv is currently expanding its investments in food processing by adopting modern technologies and improving production lines, which contributes to producing high-quality, diverse products and meeting the needs of the national market.
On the other hand, Mr. Salim Djenaihi emphasized the company's keenness to strengthen cooperation with various local and international partners, whether through industrial partnership agreements or joint ventures. The goal is to exchange expertise, transfer technology, and expand the scope of production operations.
Strengthening the export-oriented approach and creating added value for the national economy constitutes one of the main pillars of Agrodiv’s 2026 plan. The company is working to open new markets for its products abroad, contributing to increasing export rates, enhancing its brand presence internationally, and creating new job opportunities, according to the same source.
In this context, the official pointed to the “significant diversification” of the company's products and the “noticeable improvement” in production levels witnessed last year. Various affiliated units recorded a “tangible” increase in activity volume and utilization rates, “thanks to efforts in technical rehabilitation, improving management methods, and rationalizing resource use”.
It is worth noting that Agrodiv is a public economic enterprise under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry. It was launched in 2015 through a merger and acquisition process involving three companies; Tragral, Cojub, and Cegro.
