The Tunisian Ministry of Trade has declared a moratorium on the export of vegetables and fruits, indicating that this will have a positive impact in Tunisia on prices during the coming period, according to the Tunisian Shams FM.
This will have major repercussions on the Libyan market, which accounts for a large proportion of the total exports of these foodstuffs as the value of Tunisia's exports of fresh vegetables and fruits exceeded $44.4 million in 2021, 60% of which went to Libya and then Italy.
The Libyan Ministry of Economy and Trade asked Turkey and Tunisia to exempt them from the decisions banning the export of food commodities, to avoid an economic crisis, especially with the increasing demand for flour and oil during the month of Ramadan.
