TUNIS: Tunisia’s olive oil production this season is likely to increase by about 50 percent from last year to a record 500,000 tons, which will provide support to the country’s fragile economy and bolster its top export industry.
Najah Saidi Hamed, head of the Olive Producers Chamber, told Reuters that the harvest is expected to be around 500,000 tons due to good rainfall this season.
The record output would consolidate Tunisia’s place among the world’s top olive oil producers, a commodity that has seen growing interest from both consumers and investors.
