Tunisia Poultry Prices amid Market Stability and Production Issues
Tunisia is facing a severe crisis in the poultry sector, related to a decline in production due to the extreme heatwave and electricity outages that struck farms during July and August. This has led to the death of large segments of poultry farmers, especially those without backup generators. Production of chicken and eggs is expected to decrease in September to around 11,000 tons, compared to 16,000 tons before the heatwave, representing a decline of about 31%. Meanwhile, the government is planning to import hatching eggs to boost production by the end of the year, amid rising demand due to the start of the school and university year. At the same time, poultry and feed prices on the global market are not following the same trend, as energy and grain costs continue to rise. This could lead to an increase in white meat prices in Tunisia despite falling prices worldwide.
