Tunisia Buys Wheat and Barley at Higher Prices
Tunis has increased its purchases of soft wheat and animal feed barley in recent international tenders due to declining supplies from the Black Sea region, which is one of the world's main grain sources. In the tender held on September 23, 2026, Tunisia bought 125,000 tons of wheat at prices ranging from $311.72 to $314.23 per ton, representing an increase of approximately 8.2% compared to a similar purchase in July 2026, which had an average price of $288.19 per ton. Additionally, Tunisia purchased 75,000 tons of barley at prices between $304.23 and $307.62 per ton, reflecting a 1% to 2% increase over previous purchases. The rise in prices is primarily linked to reduced supplies from the Black Sea region, which raises the cost of importing grains and impacts Tunisia's import bill, amidst broader pressures on the national food budget.
