Algeria: Close to 600 land plots dedicated to industrial use in Touggourt wilaya

Monday, 12 June 2017 15:08

In Touggourt, in the northern part of Algeria, a particular accent is put on industrialization as no less than 559 plots have been dedicated to industrial use in this wilaya, Algérie Presse Service (APS) reports.

“The plots are part from a group of 879 which are to be awarded to investors for projects development in the wilaya. More than 509 investment projects have been recorded since 2011 across the eleven communities of the Touggourt wilaya, to produce construction materials (cement, concrete, ceramics and tiles), agrofood products (milk, dates conditioning), animal feed as well as to make power poles and steel frame. For more than 117 billion Algerian dinar, these projects, which cover 711.03ha, should, once completed, generate about 21,940 jobs,” the Huff Post indicated.

This should spur the government’s strategy which aims at boosting earnings from land exploitation, both agricultural and industrial, and their share in the country’s GDP.
