Tunisian olive oil export revenues from November 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024 reached TND 2.3 billion, up by 74% compared with the same period last season, according to the National Oil Office (ONH).

This is mainly due to the rise in the price of olive oil, from TND 15,192 per tonne last season to TND 26,407 per tonne at present.

In terms of volume, the exported quantities rose very slightly by 0.3% to 87470 tonnes, compared with 87213 tonnes a year earlier.

On the other hand, the volume of exported packaged olive oil increased by 14.8% to 8628 tonnes (accounting for almost 10% of the total quantity of oil exported during the current season).
