Tunisia's Agency for the Promotion of Agricultural Investments (APIA) has approved investment projects worth approximately $5.5 million (17 million dinars) for agricultural initiatives in the governorates of Bajah, Bizerte, and Medenine. The approved projects, which took place during the sixth session of the APIA's committee in 2026, focus on the agricultural sector, particularly poultry farming and greenhouse cultivation, as well as fishing projects.
The approved investments aim to support the development of the agricultural sector in these regions. The projects are expected to contribute to the country's economic growth and create new job opportunities.

In addition to the investment projects, the APIA committee also approved the allocation of five real estate loans to young entrepreneurs. The loans, worth a total of $715,900 (715.9 thousand dinars), will enable the beneficiaries to acquire 49.9 hectares of agricultural land in the governorate of Kasserine. The loans will support the launch of new agricultural projects in the region.

The loans will help to facilitate access to land for young people who want to start their own agricultural businesses. This initiative is expected to contribute to the country's efforts to promote youth employment and entrepreneurship.
