The food trade balance achieved a surplus of 1,006.6 million dinars during the period from January to July 2026, representing an increase of 22.2% compared to the same period last year. The food import coverage ratio stood at 121.5%. The surplus was mainly driven by a 43.4% rise in olive oil exports, despite a 3% decrease in its price, along with a 20.9% increase in grain imports amid a decline in prices for several commodities such as wheat and corn. This surplus contributed to covering 6.7% of the country's overall trade deficit.
