Tunisie Telegraph: State Builds 12000 Tons of Potato Reserves
The article discusses the storage issue in Tunisia, focusing on the debate between organized storage aimed at ensuring market stability and supply, and illegal storage used for speculation and market monopolization. It mentions the case of trade unionist Assed El Yagroubi, who has been issued a detention order on suspicion of monopolistic practices and speculation regarding potatoes, with potential prison sentences of up to 10 years, and life imprisonment if the crime is committed within an organized network. Fines can reach up to 500,000 Tunisian dinars. The Ministry explained that the surplus stock of potatoes amounted to 12,392 tons in 2026, with extensive distribution across storage centers. The program aims to stabilize prices and secure market supply, while the gap between organized storage and illicit market manipulation through illegal speculation continues to persist.
