Cevital recruits graduates for Ghardaïa farm project

Cevital, a private group, has launched a recruitment campaign for young graduates for its agro-industrial project in Ghardaïa, in southern Algeria.

Algérie Eco reported that the campaign was announced on Sunday, 25 October. The posts are open-ended (CDI) contracts, open to graduates with no experience and to candidates with up to two years of experience.

The posts cover agronomy, plant protection and production, plant pathology, soil science and the environment, water and hydro-agricultural development, and agricultural machinery. Candidates need a degree at licence, master or engineering level, known as bac+3 to bac+5, in one of these fields. They must also be free of national service obligations.

Cevital said on its website that it was recruiting recently graduated agronomy engineers for strategic projects, TSA reported. The company also mentions ongoing training by national and international experts, career development and accommodation.

The notice gives no exact salary, ObservAlgerie reported.

The project is based at Mansourah, in Ghardaïa wilaya, where Cevital is growing sugar beet. The farm concession covers 1,200 hectares, and the first plantings started in 2024. Earlier trial results from the company's technical teams showed sugar extraction rates of between 18% and 20%.

A sugar refinery is planned on the site for 2028. The investment for the whole project is estimated at about 600m dollars. A 385m borehole has been drilled for water, and the site lies about 160km from the city of Ghardaïa.

Candidates should check the notice before applying, ObservAlgerie said, as applications close on 17 December.
