Tunisia’s grains agency plans to import 53-grain cargos, totaling USD 408.75 mln, to address a significant shortfall in domestic production. This move comes as Tunisia’s parliament approved a USD 300 mln food security loan from the IBRD, which includes an eight-year grace period and carries a 6.87% interest rate. The nation’s grain harvest has severely declined, with last year’s yield dropping to 500k tons against an annual demand of 3.5 mln tons.
