Nabeul pepper producers seek higher prices

Red pepper producers in Nabeul, who are preparing to sell their harvest, are calling for an increase in the acceptability price. Farmers are facing marketing crises due to heightened tensions with processing units and poor adherence to agreed-upon selling quantities. Estimates indicate that the current selling price of 700 millimes per kilogram is unfair and does not cover production costs, leading to debts for 80% of farmers. The farmers have threatened to boycott the cultivation of peppers and tomatoes if authorities do not intervene to ensure fair treatment, which could cause a supply shortage in the national market.
