After challenges in recent olive harvests in major producing countries, expectations for a better harvest this season are opening up prospects for a larger global availability of olive oil. Tunisia is one of the countries expected to increase its production volumes. The country’s embassy in Brazil is taking steps to boost exports to the Latin American giant.
To circumvent the rising prices of olive oil, Brazilians are buying it in smaller volumes, according to Rita Bassi from the Oliva association. The outlook is for a decrease in prices, however, due to the good olive harvest beginning in producing countries.
These were some of the leading exports of the country in February, a month that posted lower imports of grain, vegetable oils and sugar compared to a year earlier. Surplus was posted at USD 281.3 million.
The Tunisian food trade balance deficit narrowed at the end of June. Export prices were up for olive oil and dates, while import prices were down for wheat and maize.
