The Tunisian government has announced the launch of three new investment projects in the economic activities space in Jerjis, with a total investment of approximately $213 million. The projects are expected to create between 174 and 190 direct jobs. The announcement was made on October 28, 2026, during the closing ceremony of the third edition of the Investment Days in Medenine.
Two of the projects are of national importance in the grain sector. The first project is for AGRIMEC INDUSTRIE, a company specializing in industrial grain processing, with investments of $127.8 million from Bahrain and Oman. The project is expected to create 70 jobs and start operations in 2028. The second project is for GRANOMEC, a company specializing in international grain trade, with investments of approximately $81.95 million, expected to create 50 jobs and start operations in 2028.
The two grain projects represent an integrated investment system that combines grain trade and industrial processing. The third project is for MJM ENERGY, which specializes in producing fuel pellets from wood biomass, initiated by two local entrepreneurs and expatriates. The project has a cost of approximately $3.05 million and is expected to create between 54 and 70 jobs, starting operations in May 2027.
