President: Full sovereignty requires independence from foreign reliance
The article by President Kais Saied focused on the importance of the agricultural sector in achieving national sovereignty and food security in Tunisia. The President emphasized that Tunisia possesses sufficient resources and wealth to achieve self-sufficiency, supported by longstanding expertise, scientific references, and leading institutions across Africa. He explained that improving the olive harvest season and its marketing requires supporting farmers through flexible financing and reference prices, as well as working to enhance storage and export capacities. He also stressed the necessity to address issues in the date palm sector, combat agricultural diseases such as red palm weevil, provide essential supplies, and revive the role of livestock development agencies. He affirmed that harnessing and employing all available resources can turn Tunisia into a nation of wealth exporters and achieve complete food independence. However, he warned that national sovereignty remains incomplete if the people continue to import food from abroad.
