Tunisie Telegraph: Plans to inject rice and sugar into markets
The data indicates that the market situation for essential commodities in Tunisia is improving, with a plan to inject 7,000 tons of rice and 60,000 tons of sugar in the upcoming period. While there have been challenges in supplying rice due to logistical difficulties in packaging and transportation, the current rice stock is about 6,000 tons, sufficient for three months, with a daily packaging capacity of up to 40 tons. Regarding sugar, shipments amounting to 60,000 tons are expected to arrive to boost reserves and prevent supply disruptions. It is worth noting that the sugar stock at the ports of Sousse and Bizerte shows approximately 14,000 tons in actual stock, with ongoing unloading operations, enough to cover four months of needs. Supply challenges are primarily related to the speed of packaging and distribution, not the quantity imported, evidenced by a substantial increase in sugar imports, which reached 431,200 tons in the first seven months of 2026, compared to 107,800 tons in 2025. The goal is to ensure a stable availability of these goods in the markets, rather than just having stocks at ports or warehouses.
