Reasons for Price Rises
Tunisian Trade Minister Samir Obeid attributed rising prices for some products to the gap between seasons and declining domestic production. He explained that the heatwave had reduced tomato output, while difficulties with canning and outdated equipment had disrupted supply. He said sugar stocks would last around five months (130,000 tonnes), coffee stocks four months (6,000 tonnes), and rice stocks six months (9,000 tonnes), while shortages of black tea had been reported in several regions. He affirmed that prices for subsidized basic goods would remain fixed, and that decisions had been taken to cap prices and profit margins for agricultural and seafood products.
