Tunisia heatwave impacts poultry farms
The ongoing heatwave, rising temperatures, and power outages in the Sousse governorate have caused significant losses for poultry breeders, with some farms experiencing mortality rates of up to 50%, resulting in severe damages. The head of the Regional Union of Agriculture confirmed that the high temperatures disrupt ventilation and cooling systems essential for maintaining the health of the poultry. Additionally, the rising production costs combined with declining selling prices (around 4 dinars per kilogram) are increasing the pressure on the sector. Farmers have warned that if these conditions persist, they may lead to a decline in production and market instability, calling for urgent measures to reduce power outages and review the pricing system to ensure the sustainability of the industry.
