Algiers, Algeria | May 29th, 2025 — The Bellat Group, one of Algeria’s most dynamic industrial and agri-food conglomerates, hosted the American entrepreneur Dale Didion, founder of Agri International, for a strategic visit focused on bolstering bilateral cooperation in agricultural technology and food industry innovation.

The visit, which follows an initial successful meeting in Washington D.C., marks a key moment in Bellat’s broader strategy to integrate cutting-edge international expertise into Algeria’s growing agri-industrial sector. Discussions between the two parties centered on the transfer of American know-how, expansion of investment frameworks, and launching potential joint ventures that could position Bellat—and Algeria—at the forefront of sustainable food production in North Africa.

Bellat: An Industrial Vision Rooted in Innovation and Sovereignty

For years, Bellat has been positioning itself not merely as a food production entity, but as a cornerstone of Algeria’s industrial sovereignty and economic diversification. From large-scale agro-industrial complexes to state-of-the-art packaging and logistics facilities, the group has demonstrated a consistent commitment to excellence, innovation, and professionalism.

This reputation was clearly noted by Mr. Didion, who expressed admiration for the group’s infrastructure, technological advancement, and the professionalism of its technical and managerial staff.

A Shared Vision for Food Security and Technological Synergy

Bellat’s leadership emphasized the importance of leveraging this partnership to enhance Algeria’s food security agenda, especially in the face of global supply chain disruptions and climate-related agricultural challenges. The group sees in Agri International a strategic ally with decades of experience in agricultural innovation, smart irrigation systems, and high-efficiency food processing.

The parties are now exploring several cooperation models, including joint R&D initiatives, training programs for Algerian engineers and technicians, and co-development of agri-tech solutions tailored to the North African climate.

For Bellat, this collaboration transcends economic interest. It is part of a national mission—one rooted in President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s broader vision of national self-sufficiency, industrial revitalization, and international positioning.
