Abstract

The agricultural sector is considered one of the most important economic sectors that requires careful consideration for its development, given its significant importance in combating poverty, increasing income, achieving economic growth and development, as well as achieving self-sufficiency and food security. Agricultural economics is the applied field where theoretical agricultural strategies are implemented to improve production and achieve economic development. Like other countries, Algeria has implemented important strategies to promote the agricultural sector as a key driver of the economy, along with the industrial and service sectors. This research paper aims to study and analyze the role of agricultural sector development in achieving economic diversification, considering that the national economy heavily relies on petroleum revenues. The study concludes that Algeria has managed, through the support mechanisms provided to investors in the agricultural sector, to promote this sector, albeit to a lesser extent compared to other sectors.
