Food and Water Security
Agriculture Minister Ezzedine Ben Cheikh said that food security and water sovereignty are two key pillars of public policy. He noted that agricultural investment reached 1,431.3 million dinars in 2026, while the food export-to-import coverage ratio stood at 120%. Priorities for 2027 include completing dams, strengthening water transfers and securing drinking-water supplies. The Sidi Abdelhamid desalination plant is also set to begin operations, alongside efforts to digitize major crops and boost olive oil and livestock production. Proposed commitment appropriations for the sector total 2,990.579 million dinars, compared with 2,879.401 million in 2026. Development spending accounts for 65.4% of the budget. The first general agricultural census is due to begin in November 2026.
