The Governorate of Beja officially counts 84 farmers engaged in the organic agriculture system and the cultivation of organic olives, according to Sofiane Rezgui, Deputy Director at the Regional Union of Agriculture, who spoke on Monday, November 9, 2026.
In a statement to the Beja-based correspondent of the National Radio, Faten Toujani, he specified that the area allocated to organic olive oil production is estimated at nearly 4,500 hectares.
On this occasion, he urged farmers and producers in the region to ensure they obtain the organic certification, essential for the marketing of organic olive oil.
He also encouraged producers to join the organic farming system, given its numerous advantages and the added value it represents, particularly in terms of strengthening and developing Tunisian exports.
