The Tunisian government has announced the launch of a new program aimed at facilitating access to foreign markets for small producers, artisans, and startups. The program, called 'Easy Export', is designed to simplify the export process for small packages via the postal network. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and promote exports. The program was announced by the Minister of Trade and Export Development, Samir Abid.
The 'Easy Export' program allows small structures to export volumes adapted to their capacities. Additionally, they can benefit from support from the Export Promotion Fund, particularly for part of the transportation costs. The program is part of a project on electronic and digital commerce in the MENA region, financed by the European Union and Germany, and implemented by the GIZ and the International Trade Centre (ITC). This project aims to promote digital trade and support the growth of SMEs in the region.
A series of regional meetings will be held to present the procedures of the 'Easy Export' program, identify the difficulties faced by producers, and identify products with export potential in each region. These meetings will provide an opportunity for small producers and artisans to learn about the program and its benefits. They will also enable the government to assess the needs of small producers and make necessary adjustments to the program.
The 'Easy Export' program is part of Tunisia's efforts to expand its base of exporters, diversify its markets, and allow small producers to take greater advantage of international and digital trade opportunities. The program is expected to boost the country's exports and promote economic growth. According to the government, the program will help to increase the competitiveness of small producers and improve their access to foreign markets.

However, the government is keen to promote the export of new products and increase the country's competitiveness in the global market.
