Tunis Afrique Presse: Heatwave and outages hit Tunisia’s poultry industry

The drop in temperatures and electrical disruptions led to significant bird fatalities and decreased production, which impacted market balance and prices. The professional association called on all producers to provide accurate data regarding mortality rates, declines in production, and the overall extent of damages, to enable a comprehensive assessment of the aftermath of this crisis and to take urgent measures to address the situation. The government is also moving towards revising the poultry production system in response to these findings, after confirming that climatic conditions and electrical disruptions have severely affected the sector, resulting in reduced production and market instability.
