Agriculture Ministry to review poultry output after heatwave loss assessment
The Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture has announced that it will take measures to adjust poultry production based on an assessment of the losses resulting from the record heatwave experienced by the country during July and August. The sector was affected by repeated power and water outages, which disrupted ventilation and cooling systems in poultry farms and led to the death of many chickens, particularly in small and medium-sized units. The measures will include a thorough evaluation of the damages and the provision of financial support, such as funding lines and tax incentives, to enhance breeders' preparedness to face climate fluctuations, with a focus on investing in renewable energy. Although there is a reduction in production, it is not currently considered a major crisis, according to industry professionals.
