Tunisia expects its grain harvest to jump by about 42% to more than 2 million tonnes this year, up from about 1.4 million tonnes in 2018, the state news agency said on 9 June.
Tunisia devotes most of its fertile irrigated farmland to durum wheat and imports mainly soft wheat and barley. Farming represents about 13 percent of gross domestic product.
A total of 1.2 million hectares were planted with grain this year.
