The Algerian state agency excluded French companies from the tender for the purchase of grain, citing high prices and a weak harvest. This decision provides an advantage to Russia, which is now becoming the main contender for grain supplies to the country. Diplomatic tensions between Algeria and France also played a role: Algeria expressed dissatisfaction with France's support for the transfer of Western Sahara to Moroccan control, while Algeria supports the independence of the region. This political situation has strengthened Russia's position in the Algerian market, leaving France on the sidelines.
