Abstract
The agricultural supply chain is essential for delivering fresh products from farmers to consumers
across borders. This research investigates how optimizing the agricultural supply chain can
improve the efficiency and quality of fresh product handling in Algiers Harbor, focusing on storage,
and logistical complexities.
This study employs qualitative methods, including interviews with key partners and direct
observations. Data were gathered from field observations and in-depth interviews to understand
the current inefficiencies and identify potential areas for improvement within the supply chain.
The findings reveal several critical areas for enhancement in the agricultural supply chain affecting
Algiers Harbor. Key issues include the adoption of advanced tracking technologies, improved
scheduling and container handling protocols.
Optimizing the agricultural supply chain has significant implications for improving the handling
of fresh products in Algiers Harbor. The study recommends investing in technology-driven
solutions and fostering closer collaboration among partners. These measures are expected to
enhance the efficiency of logistics operations, minimize product loss, and ensure the delivery of
fresher goods to reception countries, thereby bolstering the region's agricultural export capacity
