Farmers warn egg sales below cost hurt producers
The Tunisian Farmers' Confederation has warned about the continued decline in consumer egg prices at the production level, which is exacerbating breeders' losses and threatening the sustainability of their activity. The causes of the crisis include uncontrolled expansions in production capacities, failure to adhere to official planning, and the accumulation of egg quantities exceeding demand, leading to falling prices and significant financial losses. This situation has been compounded by a severe heatwave and recurring electricity outages, resulting in decreased production and increased mortality rates, which further raised production costs. The Confederation believes that addressing the crisis requires reassessing the sector, activating a quota system, enhancing oversight, and improving transparency to ensure sustainable and stable production. The government is urged to undertake comprehensive reforms to prevent the recurrence of such crises.
