Kairouan Zaghoug Holds Prices for Milad
The city of Kairouan will celebrate the Prophet's Mawlid on Tuesday, August 25th, as families prepare to purchase ingredients for Zqoqo porridge, dried fruits, and sweets accompanying the festivities. The prices of Zqoqo (Aleppo pine nuts) have remained stable compared to last year, ranging between 48 and 55 dinars per kilogram. Meanwhile, the prices of dried fruits vary from 33 to 185 dinars per kilogram, with increases observed in almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts. The rise in Zqoqo prices is linked to a decline in production due to drought, climate change, and wildfires, as well as middlemen intervening in the distribution process. Markets are expected to see increased sales as the celebration date approaches, which annually features religious and cultural festivities along with intensive economic activity.
