Tunisia disrupts olive oil market as Spain imports surge
Spain is experiencing a decline in olive oil production and a drop in prices, leading to an 83.9% increase in olive oil imports from outside the European Union during the first five months of 2026, with approximately 73,400 tons of olive oil imported from Tunisia and other countries. Tunisia benefited from a plentiful harvest season and lower prices, allowing it to compete strongly in the Spanish market, especially within its duty-free quota of 56,700 tons annually. Conversely, Spanish producers are facing decreased profits and rising production costs, calling for stricter import controls, while European authorities affirm that the quality of Tunisian oil meets European standards. These developments suggest that Tunisia has become a major competitor in the Spanish olive oil market, amid increasing competition with Spanish producers.
