Statistical Yearbook of Algeria — Foreign trade

Read this before buying: this product is not structured data. Each CSV row reproduces one table row as it appears in the document, its cells separated by a tab. The number of columns varies from table to table.

That choice is deliberate. Tables within one domain share no common shape — some cross years, others categories, others institutions. Flattening them under a single schema would mean guessing what their columns mean, and an invented structure would be more dangerous than a faithful grid: it would inspire a confidence it does not deserve.

What you are buying, then. The work of fetching these tables out of PDFs, cutting them up and making them machine-readable — the tedious part, done once and for all. Title, unit, chapter and source page accompany every table, so any figure can be traced back to the original document.

No arithmetic verification has been applied: it would require knowing what each column measures, which is precisely what this product does not claim to know. For verified, flattened data, see our “Demographics and living conditions by wilaya”, “Consumer Price Index” and “Industrial production and producer price indices” products.

This product is a thematic extract from the complete collection “Tables of the Algerian Statistical Yearbook”, which gathers all 566 tables across every domain. If several domains interest you, the complete collection costs less.
