Tunisia has collected more than 6.6 million quintals of cereals as of June 26, 2026, the Office of Cereals reported. This total includes 6.342 million quintals of consumption cereals and 286,000 quintals of raw selected seeds.

The Beja governorate is the top contributor, with 1.382 million quintals, representing 21% of the national collection. Other significant contributors include Kef (933,000 quintals), Bizerte (839,000 quintals), Siliana (805,000 quintals), Jendouba (703,000 quintals), and Kairouan (628,000 quintals).

Control commissions are actively inspecting collection centers and calibration laboratories to ensure proper storage and track the evacuation of harvests. These operations involve transporting cereals to the Office's units or selling them to flour mills. Approximately 2 million quintals had been evacuated by June 26.

The Office of Cereals is also overseeing the quality assessment of farmers' deliveries, the issuance of payment slips, and timely payments to producers. The office urges all stakeholders to maintain vigilance and implement preventive measures to protect harvests and ensure smooth collection, transport, and storage operations. A dedicated monitoring unit is available to address inquiries and resolve any issues related to payments or delays.
