Earlier Report Observations

The sorghum market in Tunisia expanded significantly in 2018, driven by a 46.44% increase in domestic production compared to the previous year. This production boost, part of a broader growth in the cereal sector, helped support overall market volume. Dependence on imports to meet domestic demand continued, leading to a peak market size of 7.9 thousand tonnes in 2019.

The market then contracted sharply in 2021 and 2022, with volume falling to 4.2 thousand tonnes. This decline coincided with supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected sorghum seed certification, distribution, and production costs. These challenges reduced import flows and constrained market supply.

By 2023, the market showed signs of recovery, reaching 4.8 thousand tonnes, despite soaring sorghum prices due to high agricultural input and fuel costs. The following year, improved availability of local dry cereals from the 2023/2024 harvests enhanced market supply, contributing to relative price stability.
