- Abstract
- The article analyzes the benefits and risks of protectionism in the agricultural sector of North African countries. The study employs statistical analysis, the balance method, and comparative analysis to assess the effects of protectionism policies in Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. It examines theoretical foundations, key protectionism instruments, and perspectives from both advocates and critics. The findings show that the most effective approaches combine tariff and non-tariff measures with investment in agricultural modernization and farmer support. For instance, Morocco's integrated policies under the Green Morocco Plan significantly increased exports and productivity. However, the study also highlights risks associated with long-term protectionism, such as reduced competitiveness, corruption, and rising consumer prices. The conclusion emphasizes that protectionism measures can contribute to sustainable agricultural development if applied temporarily and targetedly, alongside institutional reforms.
