Algeria's tuna fishing fleet has 29 units, of which 2 are domestically produced. Algerian people consume fish in general and tuna in particular quite low. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), each year, a person eats about 3 kg of fish, including 1 kg of tuna.
Total taxes applied to seafood imported into Algeria is 53%. Due to insufficient fishing and production, each year, Algeria has to import from 30,000 to 40,000 tons of seafood of all kinds. In 2022, the total import turnover of this commodity group of Algeria will reach 17.63 million USD, of which 4.67 million USD are imported from Vietnam, mainly pangasius, basa fillet, raw tuna and frozen squid. . In the first 4 months of 2023, our country's seafood export turnover to Algeria reached 1.5 million USD.

Here, the Vietnam Trade Office would like to introduce some Algerian enterprises specializing in importing raw tuna and canned tuna for domestic companies to consider. For details please see attached file.
