Maghreb Produce Squeeze
Markets in Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco are facing varying crises in the prices and availability of essential goods. In Algeria, potatoes and cooking oil have become scarce, with explanations including the gap between harvest seasons and rising production costs; measures have been taken to release stock onto the market and monitor prices. In Tunisia, tomato production and supply have been affected by a heat wave and interruptions to irrigation water and electricity. Meanwhile, Morocco has temporarily suspended licenses for overland exports of tomatoes to African countries, as prices have seen a relative decline. Calls have varied, ranging from support for farmers to a review of pricing and export policies, with no clear end date for the high prices or shortages.
