Tunisie Telegraph: Power and heat impact Tunisia poultry production
The poultry sector in Tunisia is experiencing a significant crisis during the summer of 2026, due to severe heatwaves and frequent power outages. This has led to a roughly 50% decline in production and increased mortalities because farms are unable to run their cooling and ventilation systems. Although the market remains stable in terms of supply and prices, farmers are suffering losses due to rising input costs and expenses for repairing damaged equipment, as the current selling price of around 4 Tunisian dinars per kilogram does not cover costs that range between 4.5 and 5 dinars. Overcoming this crisis requires strengthening alternative energy solutions, reviewing the production system, and organizing the market to confront climate and energy challenges and ensure the sector’s sustainability, which is vital for Tunisia’s food security.
