Tunisia Poultry Losses Rise in Heatwave

Poultry farms in Tunisia are facing a severe crisis due to a wave of intense heat and frequent power outages, which have led to the deaths of large numbers of birds and extremely high production costs. The Tunisian Farmers' Confederation confirmed that the rising temperatures combined with electricity cuts disrupt cooling and ventilation systems, increasing heat stress and damaging poultry productivity. Additionally, the rising prices of feed and supplies, along with cooling and maintenance costs, are putting pressure on farmers' budgets, which do not reflect the actual selling prices. The Confederation warned that these conditions threaten the sector's sustainability and called on authorities to review poultry prices, establish mechanisms for compensation, and ensure stable electricity supply during heatwaves to protect food security and maintain stability in the white meat market in Tunisia.
