The Russian market has led to an expansion of exports and an increase in receipts for summer fruits.
The summer fruits recorded good export performances such as the dates (our info of 13.06) with an increase in value of + 23%.
The Ministry of Agriculture unveiled the export results, which were finalized on the 5th of June. For summer fruits, revenues totaled 23% more than last year for the same period.
For the ministry, this increase in export value is explained by the maritime line between Tunisia and Russia, where it was possible to export peaches, nectarines, apricots in addition to dates. But this line has become insufficient and the Tunisian economy needs another line between the two countries.
