This prohibition measure should therefore have only a small impact on the trade balance according to the Ministry of Commerce. In addition, Libya, Tunisia&#8217;s leading customer for fresh agricultural products (60% of fruit and vegetable exports are destined for Libya), has asked the Tunisian authorities to exempt it from the prohibition measures given the context current crisis and the increase in consumption during Ramadan.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nUTAP&#8217;s economic adviser said companies under contract with Libyan clients could continue trading.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nTunisia shows a slight deterioration in its trade balance\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nAccording to the National Observatory for Agriculture (ONAGRI), the food trade balance deficit fell from 251.7 M TND (i.e. 77.3 M EUR) in March 2021 to 268.4 M TND (i.e. 82 .4 M EUR) in March 2022, an increase of 6.6%.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nIn terms of value, imports (+20.4%) recorded a less significant increase than that of exports (+22.8%). The recorded deficit is mainly the result of the increase in cereal imports (+11.4%), sugar (+191.9%) and vegetable oils (+32.2%) and the decrease in exports of citrus fruits (-15.1%) and fish products (-4%). However, during the above-mentioned period, exports of olive oil (+40.7%) and tomatoes (+14.1%) increased.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nExport prices increased by 37.7% for olive oil between March 2021 and 2022.
