As for detailed sub-sector analysis, between 2005 and 2016, exports of agri-food products
fluctuated sharply (lack of stability in the evolution). Indeed, each increase is followed by a fall
in exports during the following year. A record was achieved in 2015 with 1833.8 million USD.
For agricultural rawmaterials, during the period 2005-2016, exports are quite low. On the other
hand, an upward trend has been observed since 2013 althoughit is necessary to consider the
impact of exchange rate and quantity effects. The tunisian dinar experienced a continuous
depreciation during this period, whichexplains this increase.
