A Tunisian woman farmer harvests pomegranates at the village of Tastour in the North of Tunisia, 28 October 2021. The production of pomegranates is very old in Tunisia and dates back, at least, to the Phoenician era. Today Tunisia is ranked among the top 10 producing countries and represents 3 per cent of world supply. National production is increasing rapidly with a growth of 30 per cent. Across Tunisia, hundreds of hectares of plantations are emerging. Most Tunisian pomegranate producers export their fruit, about 80 percent of which is shipped to neighboring countries and also sold in Gulf countries. (Photo by Mohamed Messara/EPA/EFE)
