Tunisia: Aquaculture Industry a Driver for US Feed Exports

With hundreds of miles of Mediterranean coastline and a significant tourism industry focused on the sea, there is strong demand for seafood in Tunisia. Over the past 20 years, Tunisia's domestic aquaculture industry has grown to meet this demand, and so has demand for feed grains. Tunisia's aquaculture production rose from 3,000 MT two decades ago to 23,000 MT in 2024 - and is projected to reach 35,000 MT in 2030. Aquaculture increasingly replaces wild catch in Tunisian diets. The leading varieties in terms of quantity and value are sea bass and sea bream.
