Imports, on the other hand, fell by 33.4%, mainly due to lower imports of grain (-42.5%), vegetable oils (-58.0%) and sugar (-77.2%).<\/p>\n<p>The recovery of the food trade balance was also driven by the rise in the average price of olive oil (+78.9% to 27.04 DT\/kg) and falling import prices of grain products. Durum wheat prices fell by 16.8%, common wheat by 27.8%, barley by 34.5% and maize by 24.4%.
