Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the Tunisian market for fresh cucumbers and gherkins demonstrated consistent stability, with annual production volumes oscillating close to 71 000 tonnes. The market size, closely tracking domestic output due to negligible import and export activity, remained firmly anchored around this level, reflecting a self-sufficient supply structure.

Following a production increase to over 72 200 tonnes in 2019, volumes adjusted downward and subsequently stabilized near 71 200 tonnes by 2023. This period of consolidation resulted in minimal net change over the six-year span, underscoring the market's resilience and balanced internal dynamics.
