Tunisia destroys 100,000 tons of tomatoes
Tunisia is facing a severe and unprecedented crisis in the tomato processing sector as the harvest season begins. Power outages have led to stoppages in irrigation and the destruction of around 100,000 tons of the crop, causing farmers losses valued at 30 million dinars. These crises have resulted in a predicted 40% decline in expected production. Small-scale farmers are bearing the brunt of these losses, as production costs have increased and the quality of shipments has declined due to rising temperatures. Industry experts are proposing urgent solutions, including investing in alternative energy sources, establishing a fair reference price for farmers of no less than 350 millimes per kilogram, and easing support for agricultural inputs to help sustain production.
