Farmers' Union urges protection measures
The Tunisian Union of Agriculture and Fisheries called for actions to protect the national production systems, especially during the 2026–2027 grain season. This includes supporting farmers and fishermen, providing essential inputs such as fertilizers and seeds, and addressing issues of monopoly and speculation in their distribution. It also emphasized the importance of increasing grain prices to enhance domestic production and achieve self-sufficiency, as well as early coordination for the date palm sector to ensure price stability and secure financial resources for storage and marketing. Additionally, the union condemned the poorly planned imports of vinegar and vegetables and their negative impact on producers. Regarding olive oil, it called for caution during the harvest and promotional efforts to maintain price stability and urged the Oil Office to monitor the market and safeguard producers' interests. The union also expressed its discontent over the exclusion of fisheries professionals from technical committees and emphasized the need for consultation and participatory dialogue to ensure the sector's interests.
