Crop fields in the Algerian Sahara
- ... that in Algeria potatoes are grown in sand in the Sahara desert? "Because there is so much space in the Sahara and possibilities of land use are limited, the government stimulates people to utilize it for agriculture by providing land for free to conduct agricultural activities ... most work is done by hand, since the soil is loose sand and labour is not expensive" from: Houben, SJG (2017). "Current potato production in Algeria; An explorative research of the current potato production systems in two regions". Wageningen Research. Report WPR-693.
- ALT1:... that less than 1% of Algeria's potato crop is processed in a factory? "The processing industry for potatoes is not well developed since there is no process company for fries, only some for chips. All the fries which are sold at every street corner, are still peeled and processed by hand. <1% of Algerian potatoes are processed." from: Houben, SJG (2017). "Current potato production in Algeria; An explorative research of the current potato production systems in two regions". Wageningen Research. Report WPR-693.
- ALT2:... that the Algerian government provides free land in the Sahara for potato farming?"Because there is so much space in the Sahara and possibilities of land use are limited, the government stimulates people to utilize it for agriculture by providing land for free to conduct agricultural activities" from: Houben, SJG (2017).

@Dumelow: Article is long enough and well-sourced, no major incidences of plagiarism. QPQ is done, and images appear to be following copyright rules. Hook is interesting and cited, original hook preferred. Though, I wonder - where would you put the (pictured)? Juxlos (talk) 02:41, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
