Assessing poultry losses due to heatwave
Tunisia is experiencing significant losses in the poultry sector due to the heatwave and power outages that occurred in July and August 2026. These conditions have led to the death of bird flocks and a decline in production to supply the market with white meats. The ministry announced measures to adjust production by assessing and quantifying the losses, including providing data on mortality rates, reduced productivity, and the impacts on fertility, in order to support an urgent intervention to rehabilitate the sector. It is expected that chick egg imports will be supplied to ensure stable production in November and December. Although there has been market pressure in September, it is anticipated to return to normal by October.
