The private group Cevital aims to establish itself in Mauritania. According to the Africa Intelligence site, the group's objective is to develop an industrial complex in the Nouadhibou free zone.

Il s' agit d' une desire to build an agro-industrial complex similar to the one that was established in the port of Bejaia. Indeed, the group's management has instructed Mehdi Adam Iskounen, the director of its subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates, Cevital International Dubai, to negotiate with the government of Mauritania. Thus, the complex will be responsible for producing edible oils, white sugar and plastic, then derivatives for packaging and packaging needs. The group's desire to invest in Mauritania will support the efforts of the public authorities to strengthen Algeria's economic position in Africa.
