Tunisia's egg producers are grappling with a severe market crisis, marked by a continuous drop in prices since the start of Ramadan. This sharp decline has led to substantial daily losses for farmers, according to Houssem Kadoura, general coordinator of the Tunisian Union of Farmers and Cooperatives.

Kadoura explained that the crisis stems from an oversupply of eggs coupled with a decrease in consumer demand. This imbalance has created a situation where producers are struggling to sell their products at a profitable rate, impacting their livelihoods.

The union is actively seeking ways to address the situation and support its members. Efforts are underway to find solutions that can help stabilize the market, potentially through measures to manage supply or stimulate demand. The goal is to mitigate the ongoing financial strain on egg producers and ensure the sector's sustainability.
