Soummam Issues Milk Powder Tender for Q1 2025
Soummam, one of Algeria’s largest private dairy buyers, has announced a tender for 4,000 metric tons of skimmed milk powder (SMP) MH and 1,000 metric tons of SMP UHT for delivery in the first quarter of 2025.
The Algerian government’s recent issuance of import derogations sparked anticipation of renewed Algerian interest in the global dairy market. In response, Soummam launched its tender, which will close on November 13. Industry sources expect global suppliers to bid, though the short delivery timeframe suggests that European suppliers may fulfill most of the demand.
The move is seen by market participants as a potential precursor to increased Algerian dairy imports, with Algeria’s buying agency, ONIL (Office National Interprofessionnel du Lait et de Produits Laitiers), closely monitoring market developments. ONIL is expected to release its own milk powder tender soon, which could further impact global demand.
