Tunisia-Export of 3,000 tonnes of fruit to Libya

During the first twenty days of this October, Tunisia exported around 3,000 tonnes of fruit to Libya on three shipping lines that have been initiated since the start of the month.

The director of the commercial department of the Mixed Professional Complex for Fruits, Tarek Tira, stated that the process of exporting fruits, essentially pomegranates, during this period had positively recovered, despite the continued closure of the road connecting Ben Guerdane and Ras Jedir since the beginning of last September.

He added, in a statement to TAP on Thursday that the pace of exports to Libya was heightened today by the release of a ship loaded with more than 1,200 tonnes of fruit, including around 700 tonnes of pomegranates, from the port of Sfax to the port of Tripoli.

On Friday, another ship should leave the port of Sfax, also loaded with around 350 tonnes, which reflects the resumption of the export movement on the Libyan market, Tunisia’s first market in terms of fruit sales (more than 30 %)
