Private Investment in Agriculture and Fishing Continues to Grow in Tunisia
According to the October 2025 Invest report published by ONAGRI, private investment in agriculture and fishing is progressing in Tunisia. Projects of type "A" (individual investments under 200,000 dinars) and "B" (investments exceeding this threshold) show a marked dynamic, despite a decline in granted subsidies.
As of the end of October 2025, 4,586 investment operations have been approved, confirming sustained activity in the sector. The total value of these investments reaches 344.498 million dinars, representing a 13% increase compared to October 2024.
The subsidies allocated to projects amount to 87.339 million dinars, recording an 11% decrease compared to the previous year. This decline is explained, according to the report, by a reorientation of support mechanisms and a revision of allocation priorities.
On the side of land credits, the year shows a notable improvement. Approved loans reach 4.771 million dinars, covering a total area of 261 hectares. This represents a 7% increase compared to 2024, indicating a growing interest in the development of agricultural land.
The financing structure also shows interesting trends. Self-financing represents 145.325 million dinars, with a 3% increase. Subsidies, despite their annual decline, show a positive evolution over the last quarter, with a growth rate of 11% until the end of October 2025. Credits occupy a significant share, reaching 111.883 million dinars, representing a spectacular increase of 72% compared to October 2024, a strong indicator of bank mobilization towards the agricultural sector.
Overall, the figures confirm a solid investment dynamic, driven by private financing and bank credits, while public support mechanisms are being readjusted. The sector seems to be entering a new phase where modernization and structuring become priorities.
