Saharan Agriculture
Arboriculture and market gardening, intended exclusively for local consumption, are living examples that allow us to believe in the possibility of perennial crops in the Saharan zones. The exploitation of the Albian aquifer has enabled the development of cereal crops in the Adrar region. With a depth that can exceed several hundred meters, the aquifer extends to In Amenas, passing through In Salah, and gradually sinks towards the north.
Oil and gas exploitation is at the center of the priorities of the Algerian authorities. Hassi R’mel, the heart of gas production, is an invaluable provider of wealth. The deposit was discovered in 1956. It is the largest natural gas deposit on the African continent. It was from 1976 that Algeria began to develop its Hassi R’mel gas processing infrastructure.
