Tunisia's Shrimp Quota Up
Tunisia and the European Union agreed to increase Tunisia’s quota for deep-water red shrimp in the Mediterranean following negotiations and technical meetings held on the sidelines of the 49th session of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean in Rome, from October 26 to 30, 2026. The agreement came after Italian authorities called in early October for purchases of Tunisian shrimp to be suspended until the end of the year, after Tunisia exceeded its legal quota by more than 41%, with exports of over 50 tonnes recorded. The talks aim to update management plans for deep-water crustacean stocks and take into account the growth of Tunisia’s fishing fleet, which numbers between 70 and 100 vessels, while safeguarding the sustainability of marine resources.
