Faouzi Zayani, an expert in agricultural policy and sustainable development, told Mosaïque FM on Wednesday, October 9 that the Ministry of Agriculture did not publish production figures for 2024/2025 this year.
Estimates from regional delegations are around 280,000 tons, with favorable rainfall in August and September having a positive impact on the harvest,” he said.
He added that Tunisians consume 30,000 tons of olive oil per year, which highlights the importance of exporting this product, especially as the country has the capacity to produce 500,000 tons per year.
