Algeria Bound

FAO monitoring shows Northwest Africa entering a new phase of desert locust activity, with Morocco facing the highest pressure and neighboring countries preparing for possible summer migrations toward Sahelian breeding zones.

Northern Algerian farmers are pushing back on the government’s Saharan wheat strategy after equipment shortages disrupted this summer’s record harvest, according to local media.

Africa is no longer just a fallback option in liquefied natural gas. With Nigeria boosting capacity, Algeria reinforcing its role as a core supplier to Europe, and Mozambique building one of the world’s biggest LNG hubs, the continent is turning into a strategic supplier for Europe and Asia, offering both new volumes and shorter, more flexible delivery routes.

Algeria continued to expand natural gas exports to Europe during the first four months of 2026, benefiting from steady pipeline deliveries to key markets including Spain and Italy. While Europe’s gas market continues shifting toward LNG imports, Algeria has maintained its position as one of the continent’s leading pipeline suppliers through a combination of established infrastructure, long-term contracts, and growing LNG activity.
