Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh carrots and turnips in Tunisia demonstrated steady stability from 2018 to 2023, with annual volume remaining close to 209 thousand tonnes. Year-to-year fluctuations were minimal, never exceeding 0.3%, reflecting a consistent domestic production base without meaningful import or export activity.

In 2024, new developments included a four-year tax exemption for investment in fresh-produce processing enterprises, the launch of a community-owned company to process surplus carrots into preserved goods, and government-imposed price caps on fresh vegetables to limit wholesale price increases. Wholesale carrot deliveries at the Bir El Kassaa market rose 18% in April 2024 versus the prior year, and a seasonal forecast indicated a potential 13% growth in the national carrot harvest for the 2024-2025 campaign.
