This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is part of a series of three country-case studies to investigate the potential role of agro-processing for economic development based on the strong backward and forward linkages agro-processing firms have with the agricultural sector. Previous analyses for Egypt and Jordan (Figueroa, Mahmoud, and Breisinger 2017; El-Enbaby et al. 2016) have shown how developing the agro-processing sub-sector as well as encouraging the production of high-value crops can promote economic and social well-being, especially in rural areas where the majority of the poor are concentrated. In continuation with this line of research, this paper aims at analyzing: • What role agriculture has played for the Tunisian economy in recent years; • What is the role of agricultural productivity and structural change in fostering agricultural growth in Tunisia; and • What is the potential of agro-processing for economic development and rural transformation in the country.

This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 crisis is expected to lead to a 46.4 percent decline in Tunisia’s GDP during the 2nd quarter of 2020 (April to June). The industrial sector will be hit hardest, with output falling by 52.7 percent, followed closely by services (-49.0 percent) and agriculture (-16.2 percent). These high losses are a result of the complete lockdown imposed in the country to contain the pandemic. Higher-income urban households will see the largest income losses, although lower-income urban households also will experience significant reductions in their income. As a policy response, social transfers towards poorer households will reduce the adverse welfare impact of these drops in household income. Government policies to support struggling businesses will allow economic activities to revive more rapidly when the lockdown loosens. Consequently, comprehensive planning by the Government of Tunisia to re-open the economy will be critical to reduce the pandemic’s adverse impact on the country’s economy in the longer-term, reducing losses of employment and income, especially in manufacturing and retail.

Book excerpt: The Tunisia agricultural finance study was carried out in response to a request made in December 2009 by the Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) for support for a study on the key constraints in agricultural finance. Technical and financial support was specifically requested for: (i) a comprehensive diagnostic analysis of the current mechanisms and problems of financing of the agricultural sector in Tunisia, including those by financial institutions and from budget resources, foreign direct investment, and insurance; (ii) a comparison of the Tunisian experience with successful experiences made in other comparable countries; and (iii) the formulation of concrete proposals. The diagnostic part was also requested to include the regulations pertaining to agricultural credit, other constraints impeding the development of agricultural finance, such as costs, profitability, professional organizations, extension services, research etc., and to look at the indebtedness of smallholders. It was also requested that the recommendations help to: (i) better define the objectives to be achieved in terms of financing of agriculture; (ii) increase the participation of the financial sector in financing agriculture; (iii) help identify need for support by different types of farmers; (iv) identify new instruments geared at qualitative and technological changes; (v) reduce the indebtedness of farmers; and (vi) help improve the subsidies for agricultural investment. There are two main written outputs of the Tunisia agricultural finance study. The experts working on the study have compiled a great deal of detailed background information diagnosing the current situation, describing practices in other countries, and providing recommendations on how to improve the situation in Tunisia. These details are provided in the accompanying full technical report, which should be of interest to technicians. The present report the main summary report provides a summary of the main findings and recommendations for policy makers.

Download or read book Agriculture Productivity in Tunisia Under Stressed Environment written by Faiza Khebour Allouche and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights recent efforts to sustain agricultural productivity in Tunisia under a stressed environment and aridity conditions. This book's authors gathered a unique set of applications and approaches, including techniques applied to increase yield and preserve the environment, such as organic farming and using biochar amendment and its effects on soils' physicochemical properties. This book also presents water resources management and water management practices for sustainable soil production, diagnosis, and new farming technologies to enhance water-use efficiency. The book also addresses current livestock strategies intended to maintain production sustainability, increase fish productivity, and initiatives for sustainable tourism development. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable guide for policy planners, decision-makers, stakeholders, researchers, and graduate students in Tunisia and neighboring countries with similarly stressed environmental conditions.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2000, Tunisia and the European Union are to begin negotiations on the liberalization of agricultural trade between them under the terms of a partnership agreement signed in 1995. The political attachment of Tunisia to Europe will provide an opportunity for it to leave behind the agricultural policy pursued hitherto, a policy aimed essentially at achieving self-sufficiency in food production. This has proved to be costly for the country since it has led to poor resource allocation. The issue is therefore one of how to reform Tunisian agriculture at the least possible cost, especially for rural households, and to determine to what extent Europe can be of help in the move to a more dynamic agricultural system. The present paper analyzes various prospective scenarios for Tunisian agriculture to the 2010 horizon, using dynamic general equilibrium modelling. The outcome is that in the absence of reciprocal concessions from the European Union, possibly in the form of a lifting of tariff quotas, Tunisia would have little incentive to reduce either its assistance to the agricultural sector or its protective barriers against outside pressure. Tunisian agriculture would in this case continue to show lacklustre performance, but the welfare of rural households would be more or less preserved. Conversely, increased access to the European market for export products for which Tunisia has a competitive edge would greatly facilitate the transition and help improve resource reallocation. Some of the gains made could then be redistributed to rural communities in order to offset marginal losses. By granting the same trade privileges to its other partners, Tunisia would however maximize its growth potential and reduce still further its losses in the agricultural sector. The European Union would lose in terms of outlets for its exports but would gain overall in terms of the economic development of Tunisia.

This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following collection of notes was initially disseminated at the “Private Sector Forum on Food Security in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Region” jointly organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) in May 2015. The notes aim to inform EBRD agribusiness investments in the SEMED and disseminate knowledge on current trends in agribusiness and food security. The EBRD called upon FAO’s technical assistance to carry out an analysis of key trends in the agribusiness sector of four specific countries: Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan. This process resulted in four country notes with analyses of food consumption patterns, production and trade, as well as agricultural policies. While the individual notes were mostly descriptive, it was felt that a document providing a comparative analysis across countries would add value to the target audience, namely public officials, development experts, the private sector and members of the civil society. This publication thus sought to reframe the analysis of sector trends in the region into a readily-accessible format in order to contribute to more effective and efficient policies for improved food security and nutrition. While the focus of the publication is on four SEMED countries – Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan - many of its key findings and conclusions will also be of interest in other regional and country situations, where FAO and the UfM are active.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains a collection of papers from a workshopâ€"Strengthening Science-Based Decision-Making for Sustainable Management of Scarce Water Resources for Agricultural Production, held in Tunisia. Participants, including scientists, decision makers, representatives of non-profit organizations, and a farmer, came from the United States and several countries in North Africa and the Middle East. The papers examined constraints to agricultural production as it relates to water scarcity; focusing on 1) the state of the science regarding water management for agricultural purposes in the Middle East and North Africa 2) how science can be applied to better manage existing water supplies to optimize the domestic production of food and fiber. The cross-cutting themes of the workshop were the elements or principles of science-based decision making, the role of the scientific community in ensuring that science is an integral part of the decision making process, and ways to improve communications between scientists and decision makers.
