Tunisia mobilizes 150 million dinars for olive oil purchases
Government increases maritime transport support for packaged olive oil exports to 60%.
Tunisia's government has allocated 150 million dinars in bank financing to support the 2026-2027 olive oil campaign, enabling the National Oil Office (ONH) to purchase from producers.
The measures include a storage program for up to 60,000 tonnes and an increased subsidy for maritime transport of packaged olive oil exports, raised from 50% to 60%. An additional 20 million dinars in subsidized credit is available for small farmers through the Tunisian Solidarity Bank (BTS).
The government also plans a 100 million dinar financing line for 2027-2030. The storage program, capped at 20 million dinars, aims to support the commercialization of production, with ONH's own storage capacity at 100,000 tonnes.
