Earlier Report Observations

From 2018, the Tunisian globe artichoke market saw the introduction of new varieties like the violet artichoke by Riofresh Tunisie, aimed at export markets in Italy and the Gulf. This move helped maintain production at 21 000 t and set the stage for subsequent expansion.

Market volume peaked sharply at 27 142 t in 2020, reflecting the successful adoption of these export-oriented varieties which boosted output. However, following this high, the market entered a decline, falling to 16 809 t by 2023.

This contraction aligned with mounting pressure on production economics. By 2024, production costs had risen sharply, driven by a tripling of fertilizer prices, which eroded farmer profitability and contributed to reduced production and market volume in the preceding years.
