Market structure and networks of agricultural imports
Brazil, the United States, France, Ukraine, Argentina, Italy, Russia, Spain, Germany and Canada
were the top 10 sources of Tunisian imports of agri-food products during the period 2005-2016.
In 2016, only 8.5% of Tunisia's total agricultural imports came from the OIC member countries,
among which mainly Arab countries are the largest sources with a share of 4.1% of total imports
of agricultural products.
For agri-food products, agricultural raw materials and fishery products, the share of imports
from OIC member countries has not changed significantly during the period 2005-2016 and
did not exceed 20% for these 3 categories of products (Figures 62-64.)
