Ministers hope farming investments could ease social tensions
Tunisia’s Agriculture Ministry has announced farming sector investment has increased by 9.6 percent in recent months, whilst the country’s aquaculture investment witnessed a notable decline in the same period, according to
Director General of the Agricultural Investments Development Agency, Abdel-Latif Ghadeera.
Tunisian Agriculture Minister Mohamed bin-Salem meanwhile announced his department would formulate a strategy to export milk to Libya, in an attempt to prevent smuggling which had damaged the Tunisian market.
Tunisia suffered a recent milk shortage, forcing the government to import surrogate supply from Slovenia.
A delegation of Libyan businessmen reportedly visited the Tunisian governorate of Safaquis on Thursday, following an invitation from the Tawasol Association. The Libyan delegation was scheduled to meet with Safaquis Governor Fathy el-Derbaly.
Tunisia’s Development and Planning Minister, Gamal el-Din el-Gharby, meanwhile renewed his government’s commitment to resolving social differences between the country’s many governorates, in an attempt to ease growing tensions.
An international development forum, including the African Bank of Development, the Islamic Bank of Development and the European Bank of Investment, has also agreed to fund over 100 public sector projects in Tunisia, estimated to reach around $8bn in value.
